🚗👶 CAR SEAT SAFETY STARTS BEFORE YOU HIT THE ROAD

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office is putting an extra focus on child passenger safety with a Car Seat Safety Blitz — and it’s a great reminder for parents and caregivers to make sure their child’s car seat is installed and being used correctly.

Did you know that Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire Corps offers FREE child safety seat inspections and installation assistance right here in Sisters?

Our Fire Corps has a certified National Child Passenger Safety Technician available by appointment to help parents and caregivers make sure their child’s car seat is properly installed and appropriate for their child.

🔥 EXTREME CAUTION REQUESTED — PLEASE HELP PREVENT THE NEXT FIRE

As wildfires continue to burn across Oregon and firefighting resources remain busy throughout the state, we are asking everyone to use extreme caution in ALL outdoor activities that could potentially start a fire.

The National Weather Service is warning of critical fire weather conditions, including thunderstorms, abundant lightning and the potential for strong, erratic outflow winds. These conditions can result in new fire starts and rapid fire growth with little warning.

Right now, even a small spark can have significant consequences.

Please think carefully before mowing or using equipment around dry vegetation, parking or driving over dry grass, using power tools or anything else that can produce heat or sparks. Follow all current fire restrictions and completely extinguish anything that could become an ignition source.

⚠️ This is a time for all of us to be exceptionally cautious. One preventable fire can require firefighters, engines, aircraft and other resources that are already needed elsewhere.

We also ask everyone to remain weather-aware. Thunderstorms can produce lightning and sudden, erratic winds even when little or no rain reaches the ground.

Please help us protect our communities—and our firefighters—by doing everything you can to prevent the next fire.

Stay alert. Be cautious. Report smoke or fire immediately by calling 911.

Our Hearts Are With the Wrights Spring Fire Community

The Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District extends our deepest condolences to the family, friends and coworkers of Jason Ensign, who tragically lost his life while supporting firefighting operations on the Wrights Spring Fire near Klamath Falls.

Jason was operating a dozer and working alongside fire crews to build fireline and improve access when rapidly changing conditions and extreme fire behavior overtook his location.

Heavy equipment operators are an essential part of wildland firefighting operations. They work alongside firefighters in dangerous and unpredictable conditions, often placing themselves in harm’s way to help protect communities, property and natural resources.

We mourn this loss alongside our wildland fire family and the many firefighters, equipment operators, dispatchers, law enforcement officers, pilots and support personnel affected by this tragedy.

Our thoughts are especially with Jason’s family, friends and Green Diamond Timber Resource Company coworkers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Jason. We are grateful for your service and sacrifice. 🖤
