We ask everyone to be very fire safe during this dry summer. Don't burn, it's just not worth it!

Controlled burning makes the land more resilient to wildfire and brings neighbors in this California community together.

A little work goes a long way!

California’s wildfires are increasingly destructive. Flying embers from wildfires cause additional fires to break out, including from home to home. Create your defensible space now! Learn more from CAL FIRE at http://www.readyforwildfire.org/Defensible-Space/

On Thursday April 25th, the Post Mountain Trinity Pines area had its first official wildland vegetation fire of the season. All four current Post Mountain firefighters responded and were first on scene with the 3531 fire engine. We laid out hose and made an initial attack, and stayed through until mop up that night. It was some great experience for our crew.

A wildfire was reported burning about 3:20 p.m. near Horseshoe Loop Road in the Trinity Pines area of Post Mountain off of Hwy 36 in Trinity County.
