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 @CAL FIRE/Butte County 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

Firefighters worked in close coordination with the California Highway Patrol and Butte County EMS to deliver critical support on scene and ensure a quick transport to a local hospital. This is the value of interagency partnership—clear communication, coordinated action, and a shared focus on timely, emergency response when every

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
