MAKE YOUR PROPERTY LESS VULNERABLE TO WILDFIREThe Lake Oswego Fire Department is offering home assessments for homes in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) – the area where houses and wildland vegetation meet or intermingle.Assessments focus on the home ignition zone (the area that includes your home and its immediate surroundings) and provide recommendations on ways to make your property less vulnerable to wildfire. Creating a defensible space is one of the best ways to reduce this risk. SIGN UP FOR AN ASSESSMENT
