We’ve been getting lots of questions about where folks can
donate supplies and food for firefighters. All of the fire personnel are truly
grateful for the outpouring of support; however we ask that donations instead
be contributed to charities and the local volunteer fire departments. The
firefighters working the Eagle, El Dorado, Cornet and Windy Ridge Fires are
well supplied, and they appreciate seeing the community support each other
during these times. You can also show your support for fire personnel by making
cards and posters, or by simply saying “thank you” when you see them.
The school is hosting the Southwest Incident Management Team
and the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Green Team, who are jointly managing the
Cornet and Windy Ridge Fires.
The school is also hosting a Joint Information Center
providing public information for all fires in Baker County – it includes reps
from the Incident Management Teams, Red Cross, Baker County, Forest Service,
Bureau of Land Management, Oregon Department of Forestry, and Oregon State Fire
Marshal’s Office. The Joint Information Center can be reached at 541-523-2905
or BakerCoJointInfo@gmail.com
