About the Community Wildfire Risk Reduction Program
Maupin has been awarded a $95,000 grant from the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s office to fund two wildfire risk reduction projects in our community over the next three years.
Project 1
The “Stop the Spread Challenge” will fund the purchase of a trailer to be provided to Maupin’s neighborhoods on a rotating basis for residents to deposit yard waste for removal. This project also funded the purchase of lawn and garden tools which are available to residents through the Library of Things at the Southern Wasco County Library. The community debris trailer and tools became available in spring 2024.
Yard Debris Trailer Information
The trailer was purchased with grant funds and will be moved through neighborhood zones within city limits on a weekly basis from April 1 to September 27 2026 Please see the Yard Debris Trailer Map to find your zone.
Project 2
We are currently working with our contractor to begin fuels reduction on larger properties along the edges of the developed city. With this second phase, our goal is to establish a continuous fuel break around the community, helping to reduce the likelihood of a fire entering the city from surrounding areas.
Together, these two grants represent a significant step forward in improving wildfire resilience for Maupin.
