ABOUT DFPA

The Douglas Forest Protective Association provides wildland fire protection to 1.6 million acres of private, county, state and Bureau of Land Management lands within the Douglas District.

Formed in 1912 by landowners with common interests and goals, DFPA has grown to be one of the premier fire protection agencies in the nation.  The Association is governed by a board of directors comprised of landowners representing large timber companies, grazing, and small woodland owners.

Often mistaken as a state government agency, DFPA is actually a non-profit association that contracts with the Oregon Department of Forestry to provide fire protection for the Douglas District.  And due to BLM's checkerboard ownership west of the Cascade Mountain Range, the agreement with the State Forester covers these lands as well.
