Title: Ashland, OR - Homeowner Assistance and Mapping
Type: Homeowner assistance
Designation of high risk areas
Jurisdiction: City/town
State: Oregon
Program Description: Homeowner Assistance

Ashland Fire and Rescue coordinates a wildfire fuels reduction program funded through the Oregon Department of Forestry and the National Fire Plan. Since Ashland is located in Jackson County, homeowners in the WUI must comply with the state standards under the Oregon Forestland-Urban Interface Fire Protection Act (Senate Bill 360). The fuels reduction program provides financial incentive to owners inside and outside the City for reducing wildfire fuels and restoring fire-adapted forests. Priorities include establishing defensible space zones and creating wildfire suppression opportunities in key areas. Homeowners can receive up to $400.00 to remove flammable plant species and replace them with firesafe plants. In return the homeowners agree to maintain the landscape and home in firesafe condition in accordance with the state standards for the WUI zone. The program started in 2001 and to date (April 2005) over 500 acres have been worked on in and around the city.

Ashland Fire and Rescue also offers free wildfire home evaluations for Ashland residents. The evaluation covers all aspects of home safety including vegetation, landscaping, and home construction. City of Ashland Sanitation Department provides curbside pick-up of slash twice annually.

Designation of High Risk Areas

The City of Ashland commissioned an analysis of the wildland urban interface fuel hazard in 2001. The report is called �Wildfire Management Inventory, Analysis, and Opportunities�. The work includes a wildfire hazard map based on plant community type, management strategies for reducing wildfire hazard, and likely fire suppression locations. View the plan and map at the Wildfire Management Zone website.

There are three categories of wildland-urban interface:

  1. The classic wildland/urban interface exists where well-defined development presses up against open expanses of wildland areas. The Greenmeadows area fits this category.


  2. The mixed wildland/urban interface exists where isolated homes, subdivisions, and small communities are situated predominantly in wildland settings. The hills above Ashland fit this description.


  3. The occluded wildland/urban interface exists where islands of wildland vegetation occur inside a largely urbanized area. The hills above Lithia Park are an example of occluded interface.

The maps show areas of wildland-urban interface and designate individual homes in the interface.
