City plans town-hall on wildfire resources; open-burning window set to expire June 1
Summary
Officials said a town-hall to connect property owners with Lane County wildfire resources is tentatively set for June 4 at Westridge School; staff also said the city's open-burning window was enacted for about two weeks and "it expires the 1st of June."
The committee discussed outreach to help residents access wildfire assistance and burn-permit support. The chair said the town-hall is tentatively planned for June 4 at the Westridge School cafeteria and that Lane County and local fire representatives would be involved. The project aims to help property owners who did not have opportunity to burn or who need assistance meeting regulations.
Staff said the city enacted an open-burning window for about two weeks to allow permitted burns and that "it expires the 1st of June," after which officials will reassess weather conditions and permit status. The committee encouraged publicity to avoid duplicate events and to maximize public participation.
