Fire chiefs, Klamath County Commissioners and other local leaders are coming together to expand and strengthen fire protection services to residents in districts without a designated fire fighting agency.At a Wednesday morning commissioners meeting, officials from local fire districts including Klamath County Fire District 1, Chiloquin and Keno came together to advocate for a plan to streamline fire resources. Fire officials told commissioners that when structure fires or wildfires catch in places where no agency has jurisdiction, response can be slow and confusing. “I’m fielding questions on a regular basis from Chemult, Sprague and other Klamath County community members who are not aware that they have no fire protection,” Chiloquin Fire Chief Mike Cook said.
