SPENCER BUTTE neighborhood association (SBNA)
Located just south of Eugene, Oregon
What is SBNA?
The Spencer Butte Neighborhood Association (SBNA) is an all-volunteer, non-political group connecting people living in the Spencer Butte area with each other and keeping ourselves informed about issues that affect us.
SBNA Local Neighborhood Groups
SBNA is divided into ten local neighborhood groups to facilitate communication with our nearby neighbors. Each local group decides on its activities and has a leader.
Today's:
- Fire Danger Level (all 3 will have the same fire danger level with different additional information)
- ODF state map (webpage – recently revised & now much easier to read. SBNA is in ODF area WT-1)
- Lane Fire Authority (webpage)
- ODF Western Lane District (Facebook Page)
- Public Use Restrictions (What hours can I chansaw, mow, etc.?). Check fire danger level & then use this chart, or call 541-935-2222
- Home Wood Heating – LRAPA. (Should I use my woodstove today?)
- “Backyard Burning – LRAPA”, or, call 541-726-3976. (Can I burn my burnpiles today? No – we are in fire season.)

Lane County Alert Me
Lane County tested its emergency alert system on May 21st at 1:15 pm. If you did not receive a text or email alert, you need to sign up or update your account. To do this, click on the Lane County Alert Me link above.
Watch Duty app, https://www.watchduty.org
Maps wildfires and their status in real-time. Notifications can be set by county.
Several SBNA members have found Watch Duty to be the best way to quickly find about wildfire in our area and to get notifications of nearby fires.
Defensible Space
The Oregon State Fire Marshal’s (relatively) new Defensible Space Check List has clear illustrations and is organized into “Structure” (“house hardening”), “Defensible Space”, and “Other considerations” sections.
