Butte County Fire Safe Council
Because the safety of our communities and the health of our landscapes are inseparable.
We help protect lives, preserve the forests we love, and foster the shared responsibility it takes to thrive in a fire-adapted landscape. Through community education and landscape-scale forest health projects, we build resilience from the ground up.

I personally witnessed how the fire, which initially raced up Mud Creek Canyon as a crown fire, transformed when it encountered areas where the forest had been thinned. In these treated areas, the flames dropped to the ground, making them far more manageable for CAL FIRE. Their hard work, combined with the Fire Safe Council's commitment to reducing the fuel load throughout Cohasset, played a crucial role in saving large portions of our community.
Every dollar goes toward fuel reduction, education, and building fire-resilient communities.
