to Our Site

Welcome to the Douglas Forest Protective Association website.

For more than a century, DFPA has worked to protect the people, communities, and natural resources of the Douglas District through wildfire prevention, detection, and suppression.

This website serves as your trusted source for current fire danger levels, public use restrictions, industrial fire precaution levels, wildfire updates, and fire prevention information for lands protected by DFPA.

 

Whether you live, work, or recreate within the Douglas District, we encourage you to stay informed and do your part to help reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires.

Protecting our forests is a shared responsibility. Through education, preparedness, and collaboration with our landowners, agency partners, and the public, we can help safeguard the lands and communities that make Douglas County a special place to call home.

Thank you for visiting, and thank you for helping us Keep Oregon green.

One Less Spark, One Less Wildfire.

Established in 1912, the Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA) provides wildfire prevention, detection, and suppression across 1.6 million acres of private, county, state, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), O&C, and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands throughout the Douglas District.

On average, DFPA responds to approximately 100 wildfires each year, with those incidents historically burning about 4,000 acres annually. Nearly 75% of all wildfires within the Douglas District are human-caused, with equipment use and debris burning remaining the leading causes. Through rapid initial attack, proactive prevention, and strong community partnerships,

DFPA is committed to protecting lives, property, and Oregon's natural resources.
