**Bend Fire & Rescue Shares Resources on Wildfire Preparedness**

Bend Fire & Rescue has announced the launch of a new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) webpage to address concerns about wildfire preparedness in Bend, Oregon. This initiative comes as awareness of wildfire dangers grows, particularly in light of recent devastating fires in Los Angeles.

The FAQ page, available at bendoregon.gov/wildfire-FAQs, provides answers to common questions about how the City of Bend and local public agencies are preparing for large-scale emergencies like wildfires. The webpage also offers advice to residents on actions they can take to ensure their homes and families are prepared for wildfire risks.

In addition to providing information, the webpage allows Bend residents to submit their own questions about wildfire preparedness. This interactive feature encourages community involvement and aims to keep Bend ready and resilient in case of future wildfire threats.

For further details or to engage with these resources, visit bendoregon.gov/wildfire-FAQs.
