Eugene is experiencing some of the coldest temperatures we've seen this winter. When temperatures drop into the 20s, heating systems must work much harder to keep homes warm.

Funds will be used to support fuels reduction work on a landscape scale in high-risk areas in the McKenzie River Valley and Eugene South Hills.
