Here is some great information on how to help protect your home from wildfires. Last year's Broken Gate fire was a real wake-up call for us in Westport.

Oregonians are being asked to create more defensible space around their homes, with vegetation modified in that space to reduce wildfire threat and help firefighters defend the house.

Westport Fire extends our deepest appreciation to the Knappa Fire District and the Warrenton Fire Department for standing by our station today so that our personnel could attend the memorial service for our fallen brother- Division Chief Dave Coombs. We are also most thankful to the honors extended to our procession by the Astoria Fire Department, Seaside Fire & Rescue, Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District, Columbia River Fire & Rescue and Scappoose Fire District.
