| 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. |
