The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) authorized the use of
federal funds to help with firefighting costs for the Flat Fire burning
in Jefferson and Deschutes counties, Oregon.
The state of Oregon’s request for a declaration under FEMA’s Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) program was approved by FEMA Region
10 Acting Deputy Administrator Anthony J. Morea on Friday, August 22,
2025, at 11:06 p.m. PT. He determined that the Flat Fire threatened to
cause such destruction as would constitute a major disaster. This is the
fifth FMAG declaration in 2025 to help fight Oregon wildfires.
At the time of the state’s request, the wildfire threatened homes in and around the communities of Crooked River Ranch and Sisters. The fire also threatened natural gas, electric and communications infrastructure,
including state and federal radio towers, as well as a watershed,
wildlife and environmental resources.
