Tillamook County did several presentations throughout the county about the updated Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
Here is a video of the presentation at Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue:
Tillamook County is updating the Tillamook County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and provided information at this public forum on June 30, 2026 at the Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue community room. The existing plan is over 10 years old. The updates are being done by an outside contractor and will be completed by fall of 2026.
The TC CWPP was developed in 2010 to meet the intent of the federal Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA). That plan described the county’s relevant characteristics (e.g., demographics, socioeconomics, natural resources, etc.), identified wildfire hazards, included wildfire hazard and capability assessments, defined and described ten strategic planning areas, and documented current and proposed wildfire mitigation activities.
Presentations by wildfire plan consultant, Bintel, Inc. on the updates to the County CWPP and project manager, Dave Wells.
