Hawkins Bar Volunteer Fire Department

05/25/2026

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!!

Thank you to everyone that didn't set off fireworks or have any fires. I would like to remind everyone that any and all fireworks of any kind are illegal in Trinity County. Additionally, any fires right now of any kind are prohibited. We're halfway through the weekend. Let's not have an incident that could have been prevented.

Another reminder to be cautious when burning.

Just a friendly reminder that while burning is still allowed, it also requires permits from both North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District, and Cal Fire. Here are the links to both of those sites. The NCUAQMD permit is $20 per calendar year for the standard permit. The Cal Fire permit is free.

It takes very minimal time to apply and receive both permits, about 15-20 minutes total. Cal Fire, USFS, and all of the local departments are working together to help educate everyone to make sure that burning is done in a safe manner, and please understand, all of the agencies fully support fuels reduction.

During certain times of the year, when fire danger is high, residential hazard reduction burning of dead vegetation is unsafe. Homeowners should always check with their local CAL FIRE station and local air quality management agency before burning.&nb...
