As wildfire season begins across Oregon and the West, 4th District Representative Val Hoyle is inviting Oregonians to join her for a Wildfire Preparedness Webinar on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.

A release said the virtual event will feature special guest Oregon State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple, who will share expert guidance on how families can protect themselves, their homes and their communities this fire season.

Hoyle said, “With record-breaking heat and ongoing drought conditions, wildfire season is already here – and its only getting more dangerous”. Hoyle said, “This webinar is about making sure every Oregonian has the tools and information they need to stay safe”. Hoyle said she is grateful to the fire marshal for sharing her expertise.

The webinar will take place on Representative Hoyle’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcWVkTbKu-s

Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions during a live question and answer time. A recording will be available following the event.
