To date, Placer RCD has trained more than 700 participants through classroom workshops and demonstration burns. This is our flagship workshop and we are only planning to host this workshop once or twice this season. Learn about Rx Fire permitting, liability, fire effects on native plants, heat management, landowner resources, and more from a panel of experienced instructors. This is a free event.
Placer RCD received funding from CAL FIRE to develop a mechanism that increases the pace and scale of prescribed fire in the region. In response, the RCD developed the Placer Prescribed Burn Association (Placer PBA) and associated education and training program. Placer PBA is dedicated to equipping landowners with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to implement low-complexity prescribed burns.
Please be prepared with water and lunch for the day. Snacks and coffee will be provided by the RCD.
