In California, fire was a natural part of the pre-settlement ecosystem. There are many benefits that can be derived from appropriately using prescribed fire: improving forage for livestock, managing fuel loads, reducing potential impacts of wildfires to communities, restoring ecological processes interrupted by fire suppression, and more. The Humboldt County Prescribed Burn Association formed and conducted its first burns in 2017, and was the first PBA formed in the western United States. It is supported through membership dues, grants, and the volunteer efforts of the members.

We are comprised of land owners and concerned citizens from throughout the county who share the concerns of wildlife habitat and wildfire risk. We have been in existence since 1956; with the recent wildfires we feel that there is a need to help our communities with the abundance of fuel that makes these wildfires so disastrous. We work closely with Santa Barbara County Fire and individual land owners to safely use fire to minimize the wildfire risk. Please contact us for further information.

Through a combination of local innovation, shared risk-taking, and a lot of help from friends and colleagues we’ve met through The Nature Conservancy’s Fire Learning Network, we have: Leveraged funding and workforces across organizations and state, federal and local agencies; and Implemented burning across land ownerships, including on federal, private-industrial, and small family forestlands. All of this work has happened in and around our highest value resources and assets: our communities. The Rural Voices for Conservation Coalition recently unpacked and explored these successes in their publication, Trinity Integrated Fire Management Partnership; check it out to understand how we’ve accomplished all-lands work in our area.

In Tehama County, the RCDTC is hoping to employ PBA coordinators as technical advisors who also assist PBA members (landowners and volunteers), provide additional personal protective equipment (PPE) and equipment at burns, support prep work and burns, and apply for further grant funding to support the PBA. https://calpba.org/round-valley-pba daily 0.75 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e860856398c01242790df38/aa5f7d12-a098-49e6-b7ac-a4369ec797ea/IMG_4828.jpg Round Valley PBA - Round Valley PBA (Mendocino County) Round Valley PBA is based in Covelo, CA as a community group focused on using fire as a tool to manage our landscapes for fire prevention, especially in the aftermath of the catastrophic 2020 August Fire. Many forested areas in the mountains surrounding Round Valley are regrowing and still have dead standing timber leaving huge risk of more extreme wildfire that will likely be even more destructive. We believe planned fire is the most feasible way to prevent further damage to the landscape and protect our homes and infrastructure. As Round Valley is home to the Round Valley Indian Tribes and the original lands of the Yuki people, as well as the Wylacki in our surrounding hills, we are blessed to have active participation from Tribal members looking to reintroduce culture fire practices.

Since our beginning in the 1940s, we have supported prescribed burning in the county, originally by ranchers. We have renewed our prescribed fire program recently and are supporting prescribed burning by private landowners again in the county. Building a community of engaged, “good fire” practitioners is our primary goal. We provide education, training, and technical assistance in how to burn safely, legally, and responsibly, in ecologically beneficial ways. We use good fire to improve fire safety, forest health, enhance native plants and habitat, and range. We welcome community members of all experience levels from beginners to seasoned practitioners. Backed by the RCD, the PBA supports the development of neighborhood burn groups, provides education and training opportunities, and supports capacity building for ranchers, the local workforce, and other community groups to burn larger areas. We serve as a hub for other organizations and agencies putting good fire on the ground including the Yuba Bear Burn Cooperative.

Our goal is to help return good fire to the land by providing our community with the tools, training, and resources to conduct burning operations of varying size and complexity on their own properties. Even as prescribed fire becomes more widely accepted as the future of firefighting, it tends to be limited to government agencies on public lands. We aim to change that together. At the Tuolumne PBA we accept all experience levels, whether you are a hotshot or you almost successfully built a campfire once. We believe that fire is for everyone and that providing the public - we are the public! - the opportunity to manage their land using fire is integral to creating a fire safe community.

Please invite your friends and neighbors - the need for good fire is urgent and we need all hands on deck! https://calpba.org/south-bay-pba daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e860856398c01242790df38/945c9ef4-a471-4da0-a94a-d5268dfb2f96/Jasper+group.JPG South Bay PBA - South Bay PBA Santa Clara County The South Bay PBA is managed by the Santa Clara County Fire Safe Council under a grant funded by the California Coastal Conservancy. The grant will fund capacity building by training everyday residents on how to safely apply beneficial fire to their lands in Santa Clara County.
