Arguments in favor
Reasons to support this legislation.
The supporters of HB 3366 unanimously emphasize the urgent need for a dedicated wildfire training center in Oregon, citing the devastating effects of wildfires on lives, property, and the environment. They argue that the proposed facility will provide a proactive solution to prevent future wildfires by increasing the state's capacity to train and respond to emergencies. The bill would fund the construction of a regional wildfire training center in Curry County, which would offer valuable training space and serve as a command center for southern Oregon wildfires, supporting the training of up to 1,500 wildfire cadets annually. By providing crucial funding and support, HB 3366 is seen as essential for enhancing firefighter training capabilities in the region and helping to combat the growing wildfire crisis in Oregon.
