Please! Help us help you! If we can't find where we're going in an emergency it delays critical time in patient care, attacking a fire, ect. This is the biggest "bang for the buck" ways you can help us, as signs are very affordable and easy to put up! I can't stress how important it is to us to have addresses properly posted. Come on Piercy let's get those numbers up for the north county! If anyone has any questions comments or concerns feel free to contact us! Thank!

Help first responders help you! Reflective address signs make your home easier to find in emergencies, even in darkness or smoke. Since 2017, the Mendocino County Fire Safe Council has provided 2,957 signs to residents across Mendocino County for just $20 each. These signs have gone all over the county, check out where below!

CAL FIRE is lifting the burn suspension on October 13th. This Monday. However please note that fire season is still in effect and legal burning shall only be conducted with a burn permit from both CAL FIRE and Mendocino air quality management district. Once both permits are acquired burning can only be conducted on permissive burn days. Burn permits are easily acquired online through both agencies. Call 7074634391 for burn day status in Mendocino county. Thank you! and please burn safely!

Mendocino County, CA – The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE),
Mendocino Unit is lifting the suspension of residential outdoor burn permits. This suspension will be lifted
on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 8:00 a.m.
CAL FIRE Mendocino Unit Chief Brandon Gunn is formally cancelling the burn permit suspension and
advises that those possessing current and valid agriculture and residential burn permits can now resume
burning on permissible burn days. Agriculture burns must be inspected by CAL FIRE prior to burning until
the end of the peak fire season. Inspections may be required for burns other than agriculture burns.
Burn Permits are available online from CAL FIRE at https://burnpermit.fire.ca.gov.
IMPORTANT: CALFIRE Burn Permits are only for residents who live in the State Responsibility Area (SRA),
or where CAL FIRE has jurisdictional authority. It is the responsibility of the landowner to check with local
fire agencies to determine any additional permits that might be required and if there are any additional
burning restrictions for their area.
You must have possession of a signed permit while you are conducting a burn. If you lose your permit or it
expires, you will need to obtain another permit before you start burning.
Safe residential pile burning of forest residue by landowners is a crucial tool in reducing fire hazards. State,
Federal, and Local land management and fire agencies will also be utilizing this same window of
opportunity to conduct prescribed burns aimed at improving forest health and resiliency on private and
public lands.
Before you burn, call Mendocino County Air Management District at (707) 463-4391 to confirm that you
have all the required burn permits and to ensure it is a permissive burn day. Burning can only be done on
permissive burn days and is prohibited on non-burn days.

Todd Barton will be missed dearly! He was always positive no mater what was going on. I got to work with him personally for a spell at blue star gas outside of the fire service always smiling always had a joke to tell. Todd was always looking out for us in Piercy as well. Whenever there was a fire call between us and Garberville he would request us early and or call me by phone. He will be missed dearly but not forgotten! Rest easy friend we got it from here...

The Southern Humboldt Firefighters community lost one of its own yesterday Todd Barton Passed away yesterday at his home. It was a shock to our community. Todd was a Garberville Volunteer Firefighter for over 40 years and responded to thousands of calls. Since retiring from Bluestar Gas a few years ago he took up walking/ patrolling the town. A friend to all Todd will be missed. A memorial fund will be set up at Vocality to help pay for funeral expenses. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his surviving family. RIP Todd Barton.
