History

Since 1998, Plumas County Fire Safe Council (PCFSC) has provided assistance to 27 communities by obtaining funding for Hazardous Fuels Reduction treatments on over 5000 acres. Additionally the Council's on-going Senior and Disabled program has benefited over 450 Plumas County residents by creating and maintaining defensible space around their homes to make them safer from the threat of wildfire. 
The Plumas County Fire Safe Council provides many fire prevention service benefits to Plumas County residents.  These benefits include the following:
  • Senior/Disabled Defensible Space assistance
  • County-wide Chipping program
  • Community Hazardous Fuel Reduction treatments
  • Firewise educational consultations

2021 Annual Goals

  • ​Implement and amend as necessary the Plumas County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP),
  • Increase public knowledge and awareness of the wildland fire hazard and efforts they can make to reduce their threat,
  • Develop more community-based involvement,
  • Implement community hazardous fuel reduction projects,
  • Continue to pursue grant funds,
  • Develop a strategy to provide for sustainable and renewable project funding and reduce the Council's dependence on grant funding,
  • Explore green waste disposal options and community chipping options,
  • Assist local fire departments in meeting their mission and goals.
If your community is interested in learning about PCFSC assistance with developing a community Hazardous Fuel Reduction project or becoming a Firewise Community, contact the Coordinator. With appropriate wildfire mitigation efforts, homes and forests can survive a wildfire.

The Plumas County Fire Safe Council has partnered with the Plumas National Forest to design and implement collaborative forest health projects. Funding for the collaborative was awarded through Title II of the Secure Rural Schools Act. This process encourages initial and consistent involvement from members of the public - utilizing local knowledge of the land and working to create a plan that is widely accepted and meets the needs of the forest and its users. The program focuses on areas of the Plumas National Forest that lie within the Wildland Urban Interface, as well as priority watersheds.
