(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon State Fire Marshal will be awarding three-million dollars in grants to reduce wildfire risk. Applications for the grants are being accepted now. The grants range from 50-thousand to 75-thousand dollars each. They're prioritized based on fire risk, social vulnerability and project clarity. Seventy percent of the money will help protect the first 100 feet around buildings. The remaining money will go to communities to help reduce general fire risk, which includes building fire breaks.
