Prior to the deployment of the 'helitorch,' which delivered a stream of fire from beneath a CAL FIRE helicopter, the controlled burn in Butte County was preceded by 18 months of preparation and planning by our @CALFIRE_ButteCo Unit. "Everything for this controlled burn had to line up just right with fuels, topography, and weather," said Division Chief Byron Vance. The goals of the prescribed fire were to reduce fuel load and create a bigger fuel break for the rural communities of Cohasset and Fo

When a fire becomes too complex for our units to manage, CAL FIRE and our partners deploy specialized Incident Management Teams (IMTs) to take over. This year alone, we've activated 11 IMTs due to the dramatic upsurge in fire activity. Currently, we’re facing a unique scenario with the #ParkFire: two CAL FIRE IMTs are tackling the same blaze! IMT 3 is operating out of Chico, while IMT 4 is based in Red Bluff. The dual activation allows the Unified Command to deploy and support the over 6,300 per

The Lumpkin Fire in Butte County was identified at 8:17 p.m. on July 4 -- one of 232 fires to ignite across a blistering hot California. Thanks to the quick work by CAL FIRE/Butte County -- including night water drops from a CAL FIRE S70i Firehawk -- the threat was quickly extinguished -- reaching just 7.5 acres. CAL FIRE's expanded night operations capability allows us and our partners to undertake night drops on multiple fires during one evening. The Lumpkin Fire is an example of the aggressiv

Seven years ago today, a wildfire sparked in Butte County and quickly grew into the Camp Fire—the deadliest wildfire in California’s history. Eighty-five lives were lost. More than 18,800 homes, schools, and businesses were destroyed, and entire neighborhoods were forever changed in a matter of hours. Today, we pause to remember those who lost their lives, the families who carry their memories forward, and the communities that continue to rebuild with strength and resilience. As we look back, we

Battalions 1 and 8 in Butte County took part in OVEIS training (that stands for "Orient, Vent, Enter, Isolate, and Search"... because we love a good acronym!) on Monday at our Openshaw Training Center. What is it? When firefighters are searching a multi-story building for victims, sometimes it's easier and safer to go directly to the room up a ladder from the outside, than to walk up the interior stairs of a smoke or fire-filled building. #firefighter #alwaystraining #calfirebtu #calfire #buttec

#GoodFire takes many forms and cultural burning is one of them. Cultural burning remains an important practice for Indigenous communities. It honors ancestral stewardship, introduces beneficial fire to help restore traditional foods and plant resources, and supports the long-term care of the land for future generations. In Butte County, the Berry Creek Rancheria Tyme Maidu Tribe Indians of California recently led hands-on workshops rooted in Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), giving partici

Earlier this week, we went all access with the S-2T. In this video, cameras inside the cockpit of the Grumman S-2T capture the action as one of our CAL FIRE pilots flies Tanker 93 out of Chico Air Attack Base. In 1996, CAL FIRE acquired 26 S-2E/G planes from the Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) program. Marsh Aviation converted the planes to a firefighting configuration and were retrofitted with modern, powerful turboprop engines. The completely reconditioned S-2Ts are faster, safer, more

Throughout the winter months, our firefighters work hard to remove dangerous fire fuel in strategic areas of Butte County to protect residents and property.
