Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, we encourage our community to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of the day and remember those who gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy.

From all of us at Applegate Fire District, we extend our deepest gratitude to our fallen service members and their families.

We remember. 🇺🇸

Celebrate responsibly this Memorial Day Weekend. Campfires are one of the top causes of human-caused fires in Oregon and completely preventable. Before starting a fire, check local and park restrictions to see if there are any burn bans or extra restrictions in place. Never leave your campfire unattended and always make sure the fire is DEAD OUT before leaving.

For more information on campfire safety and restrictions, visit Oregon State Parks website. https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=v.feature-article&articleId=382
