PLUMAS LAFCO MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FOR LAKE ALMANOR REGION OF PLUMAS COUNTY F I R E A N D EMS S E RV I C E S This section provides an overview of fire protection services in Plumas County and offers a brief review the fire and EMS services provided by local agencies in the Lake Almanor MSR area. For a detailed description of each service provider, refer to the agency’s respective chapter in this document. Background Plumas County is 2,613 square miles in size. About 18 percent or 287,072 acres are privately owned lands and the remaining 82 percent are public lands. Of these public lands, the Plumas National Forest consists of 70 percent or 1,151,360 acres, and the Tahoe and Lassen National Forests, the Bureau of Land Management lands and Lassen Volcanic National Park comprise the remaining ten percent. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) has a statutory responsibility for wildfire protection of private lands in California. The Lassen‐Modoc‐ Plumas Unit of CalFire is administratively responsible for fire protection of private lands in Plumas County. Through a cooperative agreement between CalFire and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), wildfire protection for vegetation fires on private lands for a majority of Plumas County has been granted to USFS based in the Plumas National Forest. Responsibility for all other fire and medical emergencies, including structural fires, vehicle accidents, emergency medical calls, lies with the local fire agency. The Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) in Plumas County are the more densely populated areas with less wildfire hazard. LRA areas include the City of Portola, portions of Quincy and East Quincy and the portion of Sierra Valley south of the railroad. As part of the operating plan that is part of the agreement between USFS and CalFire, USFS conducts a majority of the prevention activities that would normally be conducted by CalFire. However, a State law exists which precludes Federal officers in northern California, from going on to private lands to enforce State laws except by invitation or threat of wildfire. An exemption exists, but the County Sheriff must enact it. Current prevention activities on private land include the issuance of burning permits, residential inspections for those whom request it and wildland fire investigations. The agreement between USFS and CalFire does not include fire safe planning on State Responsibility Area (SRA) lands. The Fire Protection Planning Bureau handles this responsibility through its fire protection planning and pre‐development review of plans for fire safe requirements. The Plumas County Fire Safe Council furthers fire safe efforts through firewise community and evacuation planning, and hazardous fuel reduction. Local fire protection, for other than vegetation fires, is provided to communities in Plumas County by 19 fire departments located throughout the County. While not all territory within the County has a designated local fire protection provider, all territory within the County has a determined first responder based on an informal agreement with the Sheriff’s Dispatch Center.
