Public members in the Medford area Saturday morning are invited to an Open House to see how the Oregon Department of Forestry and cooperating agencies fight fire from the air.
ODF is providing an opportunity to see the DC-7 air tanker, attack helicopters and other aircraft that battle fires in southwestern Oregon from 9:00am to Noon, Saturday July 31 at the Medford Air Tanker Base, 600 Nebula Way adjacent to the Rogue Valley International Airport. The event is free.
Check out the SWOFIRE blog for additional information – the event could be potentially subject to cancellation if fire aircraft are needed in an emergency. You can also contact the ODF Medford Unit for questions at (541)664-3328.
