Barbara MacArthur has been the Lake Almanor Country Club (LACC) Firewise chair for the past eight years and, together with her husband Bob MacArthur, they have been an instrumental part of the Lake Almanor Country Club's fire mitigation programs. For example, the MacArthur's have both spent countless hours working on Firewise issues and duties such as: tabulating all the hours and expenses members performed doing Firewise cleanup, writing subsequent reports to Firewise USA, making LACC a Firewise community, holding evacuation drills, attending all the fire prevention partner meetings for Plumas County, keeping our Lake Almanor Basin community updated on new laws and events that help us remain safe - as well as aiding members in keeping reasonable insurance rates and helping members from being dropped by their home insurance carriers.

Due to the numerous volunteer duties, responsibilities, the Lake Almanor Country Club's Board of Directors believe Barbara and Bob more than qualify for the certificate of appreciation by performing numerous acts which have helped reduce losses from wildfire due to helping meet the objectives of the Plumas County Communities' Wildfire Protection Plan.
