Purpose of the FireMaps.org Web Site

Status: Active

Wednesday, June 01, 2005

The primary purpose of this web site is to improve communication between fire camps and the public and media.

An Event is a wildfire, such as the Squires Peak wildfire that occurred two years ago.

The project team has worked diligently to provide what we hope is a relatively easy to use and navigate web site which has current information about wildfire events in southern Oregon.

Additionally, these web pages also have Fire Maps for all of Jackson County (Josephine County to follow this fall), and links to obtain more information about creating a defensible space around your home.

During a wildfire Event, the icons below, More Info, Fire Perimeter, and Fire Photos, would provide more details about the current wildfire event.
