We had many accomplishments and should be proud of our growth. We took a department that was in a good place and made it extraordinary. We continue to be an example for other departments to follow. As I have said it’s easy to be great once but the real challenge is being great all the time. We must, as an organization, keep our foot on the pedal and continue to grow and develop our people and our organization. Our goal at the LaGrange Fire Department is to continuously exceed the expectations of the community and our stakeholders. In 2019 we reached three major milestones. We added a fifth fire station that will provide quicker response to the northwest quadrant of the city. We added a training center that meets all our training needs. We maintained our ISO classification of 2 during our last audit. To have these two additions to our department within a single year is exceptional and to maintain our ISO classification was monumental. Each of these milestones helps us provide a better service for the citizens of LaGrange.

  • Before Wildfire Strikes!
    EM 9131 n DECEMBER 2015 Before Wildfire Strikes! A Handbook for Homeowners and Communities in Southwest Oregon Do you know what it takes to survive wildfire? Southwest Oregon at Risk In the fire-adapted ecosystems of southwest Oregon, it is not a matter of “if” wildfire is going to occur, but “when.” Unfortunately, many residents living in Josephine and Jackson counties and beyond are not prepared for wildfire. Neither are their homes. Faced with the growing potential for loss of human life and property due to wildfire, southwest Oregon’s firefighting agencies and Oregon State University’s Cooperative Extension have come together to promote an integrated approach, melding Firewise Community concepts of on-the-ground fuels management with the larger community interaction and landscape-wide fire resilience in a Fire-Adapted Community concept. They believe this is the best opportunity to decrease the wildfire threat. When a wildfire is threatening your community, the time to prepare has passed. However, there are steps that homeowners can take to improve personal safety and home survival before a wildfire occurs. The purpose of this publication is to promote and teach these steps. Once implemented at the neighborhood level, these recommendations will assist Map: U.S. Forest Service communities in becoming fire-adapted. Fire starts in Josephine and Jackson counties for 2015. Who wins, who loses Why do some houses survive a wildfire, while others are destroyed? Research shows that house survival during wildfire is not random, miraculous, or dumb luck. Rather, it is the features of the house, the characteristics of the adjacent vegetation and other fuels, and routine maintenance that often determine which houses burn and which survive.
