Bigfoot Enlisted for Fire Department’s “Believe in Fire Safety” Campaign

Bigfoot walking through the forest

The Corvallis Fire Department is encouraging the Corvallis community to keep an eye out for a larger-than-life visitor in the community this summer. Bigfoot (a cardboard stand-up, that is) will be lurking at popular spots in Corvallis this summer as part of a statewide campaign to promote fire safety.

Community members who spot Bigfoot in the wild will have an opportunity to learn about fire safety with CFD fire prevention officers. They can also enter to win one of several fun prizes, including a fire truck tour, a hands-on fire hose drill, and a Bigfoot t-shirt.

Bigfoot will be hiding around town on each Wednesday from 1 to 3:30 p.m. starting July 1 and continuing through August 26. Look for clues each Wednesday after 12:30 p.m. on the City of Corvallis social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) to find Bigfoot.

Anyone who finds Bigfoot can enter the drawing in person by visiting with CFD staff, or they can enter online by snapping a selfie with Bigfoot and tagging the City of Corvallis on social media.

This program is part of the statewide #BelieveInFireSafety awareness program organized by the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office.
