EUGENE, Ore. – Lane County’s Firewise Grant program is currently accepting applications.
The grants provide rural property owners with funding to help complete projects that reduce the risk of wildfire, including:
Clearing vegetation
Non-combustible exterior siding
Chimney spark arrestors
“The Firewise grants are a great way for property owners to reduce the risk of wildfire to their homes,” said Lane County’s Firewise Program Manager Meia Matsuda. “The Firewise-eligible projects focus on helping people get their property lean, clean and green through improved vegetation clearing, irrigation and fire-resistant landscaping and materials.”
