OSFM Set to Host a Townhall Meeting on 2022 Oregon Defensible Space Code Development

SALEM, Ore. - The Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal (OSFM) is hosting a series of townhall meetings to talk about the 2022 Oregon Defensible Space Code, its development, timelines, and upcoming opportunities for community input.

The OSFM has been working through a public development process with the Oregon Defensible Space Code Development committee; a diverse group of stakeholders, to develop the new code based on the framework established through SB 762. To continue that open and transparent process, the OSFM is hosting a series of 17 community townhalls across Oregon, which began last week in Southern Oregon.

OSFM will be hosting a town hall discussion in Lane County next week. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 9, 5:30 to 7 pm, University of Oregon, Lillis Hall Room 182, 955 E 13th Ave, Eugene

Oregon Senate Bill 762 directs the OSFM to establish minimum defensible space code standards and where those may apply. Accordingly, the OSFM has set up a special section on its website dedicated to the defensible space code development process.
