Back to EpisodesPortland Fire's Deputy Chief on This Year's Wildfire Season
Description
Oregon saw the worst wildfire season on record last year, and estimates show that 2025 could be at least as bad. Fighting wildfires takes a ton of resources, which can put additional strain on fire and rescue workers here in the city. Today on City Cast Portland, Portland Fire and Rescue Deputy Chief Chris Barney is here to walk us through how the city is getting ready for fire season, including how they prepare for fire risks in Forest Park.
