Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
To provide fire fighting, emergency medical and rescue services within the Briceland district area and support to other emergency service departments.
-
During 2024-2025 our Fire Department provided Dept. of Forestry & Fire Protection with assistance on 10 different incidents and Mutual Aide Support on Cal-Fire Stations. In November 2024 we provided assistance to Humboldt Co. Office of Emergency Services, prepositioning response teams for the winter storm that hit the North coast region. We responded to numerous fire, emergency and medical incidents in our service area. In November 2023, we were awarded a USDA/USFS Community Wildfire Defense Grant. We began a pilot project on five miles of a private road system to create a buffer fire break and safer evacuation route for residents and access for emergency responders. The work on this project grant was completed in January 2025. In June 2024 we were awarded a Defensible Space Project grant through the Humboldt Co. Dept. of Public Works, as part of the California Climate Investments Program, through the California Fire Safe Council. This grant work was completed in December 2024 and provided for 110 homesites to be treated with a 100' buffer zone and home risk assessment to help harden residents homes to better resist wildfires. Throughout the fall of 2024 and spring of 2025 we conducted numerous Prescribed Burns, outreaching to areas outside our District, furthering our Fuels Hazard Reduction and Fire Training programs to other neighboring communities. Our Department continued to offer basic and advanced fire fighter trainings through our annual Fire Academy Training grants as well as recruiting potential new fire fighters. Our Department members participated in many basic and advanced training courses throughout 2024-2025.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
