Friends, For the last six weeks, the Douglas Timber Operators have been publishing a weekly documentary highlighting the events of the Archie Creek Fire and those that put their lives on the line to save others. As a member of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue Team, I remember the chaos that ensued. People fleeing from their homes, fire surrounding many roadways, and some people even being trapped. If you haven’t seen the series, please click here to watch it. Ensuring that our forests are properly managed and providing resources to those who have been affected by wildfires will be priority for me in Salem. Sincerely, Virgle Osborne Candidate for House District 2 |
