Grants Pass Fire Rescue
July 16, 2026

Grants Pass, OR — Grants Pass Fire is notifying residents that the neighborhood canvassing planned for Saturday, July 18th, as part of our community wildfire‑mitigation grant program, has been postponed.

This decision comes in response to ongoing fire activity related to the East Evans Fire in Jackson County, which is currently requiring regional attention and resource support. Our crews and partner agencies are actively engaged in operations to ensure community safety, and postponing non‑essential activities will help maintain focus where it is most needed.

A new date for neighborhood canvassing will be announced once conditions stabilize and staffing levels return to normal. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as we prioritize urgent fire‑response efforts.

For updates, residents are encouraged to follow official communications from Grants Pass Fire and local emergency management channels.
