Most properties in Bend, Redmond, and Sisters are unintentionally increasing their fire risk.

• Dead or dry vegetation near structures

• Overgrown juniper and shrubs

• Ladder fuels connecting ground to tree canopy

• Dense vegetation along fences and property lines

These conditions allow fire to move fast, hot, and directly toward your home.

For homeowners, this means increased vulnerability.

For HOAs, it means shared risk across the entire neighborhood.

For acreage owners, unmanaged land becomes a fuel corridor that threatens structures, livestock, and surrounding properties.

If your property hasn’t been assessed, you’re guessing.
