Fire restrictions are in effect!

🔥FIRE RESTRICTIONS GO INTO EFFECT JULY 1🔥

The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is enacting fire restrictions starting Wednesday, July 1, across the forest.

Drying vegetation and warm weather have created conditions more conducive to increased wildfire risk. These conditions prompted the Forest Service to put the restrictions into effect.

For more information about these restrictions, exemptions, and to see a map, please visit this website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r05/shasta-trinity/alerts/2026-fire-restrictions-forest-order

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you to everyone that helped during the medical emergency at the breakfast yesterday. I had one person ask me if all those people are on the fire department. The reality is there were only two of us on the fire department, the rest were just amazing neighbors helping when help was needed!! It truly does take a Village, and yesterday was proof that we have one!! Thank you!!!

Effective May 1st, burning will require the additional Cal Fire burn permit along with the North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District permit that is always required.

Here are the links for each of these, the Cal Fire permit is free and just takes a few minutes, the NCUAQMD permit is $20 for the standard permit and takes about 10 minutes.

Hawkins Bar Fire was part of a multi-agency Technical Rope Rescue Training this past weekend hosted by Weaverville Fire, and taught by Cal Fire. Almost every Trinity County department participated. What a great opportunity, we are grateful for all involved!!
