Wildfire Preparedness Planning

Oklahoma Forestry Services assists communities to assess their wildfire risk and develop Community Wildfire Protection Plans and Firewise Plans. These plans provide an assessment of the hazards present and provide a plan to lower the community's wildfire risk through specific actions that will reduce the loss of property and improve the safety of residents and emergency responders.  Assistance is available by calling 405-522-6158  or contacting OFS Firewise Coordinator,  OFS Foresters, or the  OFS Rural Fire Coordinators.
