Incident Resource Agreement Submission Period Opens
Salem, Ore. – The sign-up period for the Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) 2025 Incident Resource Agreements (IRA) opens March 1 and will close May 31, 2025.
As a part of Oregon’s complete and coordinated fire system, private contractors provide an array of firefighting resources to ODF and its partnering agencies, including hand crews, water handling/heavy equipment, medical units, security services, mobile kitchens and more. These assets and services are secured by ODF through Call-When-Needed (CWN) Incident Resource Agreements. IRA contractors may select to work within specific ODF districts or be available for statewide assignment.
IRA resources are used on ODF jurisdictional incidents in Oregon.
To sign up to become an IRA resource, email pcsu@odf.oregon.gov or visit https://www.oregon.gov/odf/fire/Pages/firefighting.aspx.
It is important that all potential and current contractors submit new resources or changes to existing resources before May 31.
After the May 31 deadline, the window will be closed for statewide eligible sign-ups.
