Program details
How it works
The Oregon State Fire Marshal says scheduling a free defensible space assessment is easy and that the assessment is an education-focused visit. It gives home and property owners tips to start or improve defensible space around their property.
What it covers
The page highlights guidance for:
- roof and gutters,
- home hardening around vents and siding,
- the first five feet around the structure,
- defensible space vegetation management,
- and emergency access features such as driveways, address signs, and gates.
Timing and access
The page presents the assessment as a free, ongoing service. It does not state a funding cap because it is a service rather than a cash award.
