BURN BAN IN EFFECT

Trinity County 356 VFD asks everyone to refrain from outdoor burning while the burn ban is in effect. Dry conditions can cause fires to spread quickly and put homes, families, and our community at risk.

Whether or not you have received a verbal warning, violating the burn ban may result in fines or other consequences. Please follow the ban and help keep our community safe.

🚒 Safety Tip Friday: Winter Wildfire & Mutual Aid

Dry winter grass and brush can still carry fire. When an incident brings multiple agencies together, keeping access routes open helps crews reach the scene and work safely.

Please give responders room: move over or slow down for emergency vehicles, don’t stop to watch or follow apparatus, and stay clear of the scene. Follow directions from responders and keep roads open for incoming units.

A little patience and space can help protect our responders and community. Stay safe, Trinity County!

Stay safe, and look out for one another.

SAFETY TIP FRIDAY | FIRE AWARENESS

Even during 2026 National Fire Prevention Week, Trinity County 356 Volunteer Fire Department remains committed to our weekly Safety Tip Fridays! Fire prevention and community safety aren’t just something we focus on for one week out of the year. They’re important every single day!

This week’s topic is especially important to us here in Trinity County.

Just because the burn ban has been lifted DOES NOT mean the fire danger has disappeared!

With so many wooded areas, rural properties, and homes surrounded by dry vegetation, it only takes one unattended brush pile, unexpected gust of wind, or flying ember to turn a controlled burn into a dangerous wildfire.

Before burning brush, leaves, or other permitted outdoor materials, please remember:

✅ Check weather conditions. Avoid burning on windy days or when conditions are especially dry.

✅ Have water and tools ready. Keep a water hose, rake, or shovel nearby in case the fire begins to spread.

✅ Keep your burns manageable. Never burn more than you can safely control.

✅ Clear the surrounding area. Keep fires away from structures, trees, power lines, and dry vegetation.

✅ Never leave a fire unattended. Stay with your burn until the fire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cool.

Our volunteer firefighters are your neighbors, friends, and family members. When a brush fire gets out of control, these men and women leave their homes, jobs, and families to protect yours.

We ask everyone to do their part in preventing unnecessary emergencies. A little extra caution can make a tremendous difference in protecting lives, property, and our beautiful Trinity County communities.

Remember: A lifted burn ban is not a guarantee of safe burning conditions.

BURN RESPONSIBLY. STAY ALERT. KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE!

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK – SAFETY TIP!

Stay Alert While Cooking!

Did you know that unattended cooking is one of the leading causes of home fires?

Whether you’re frying, grilling, or preparing a family meal, a moment of distraction can quickly turn into a dangerous situation.

✅ Stay in the kitchen while cooking, especially when using high heat.

✅ Keep towels, paper products, and other flammable materials away from the stovetop.

✅ If you need to leave the kitchen, turn off the heat!

🚨 Remember: A fire can start in seconds, but the damage can last a lifetime.

During Fire Prevention Week, October 4–10, Trinity County 356 Volunteer Fire Department encourages everyone to take a few extra moments to practice fire safety at home.

Stay alert, stay prepared, and help keep your family and our community safe!
