BOTHELL, Wash. –  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. 

FMAGs make funding available to pay up to 75 percent of a state’s eligible firefighting costs for fires that threaten to become major disasters. Eligible items can include expenses for field camps, equipment use, materials, supplies and mobilization and demobilization activities attributed to fighting the fire. These grants do not provide assistance to individual home or business owners and do not cover other infrastructure damage caused by the fire.
