LIVING WITH WILDFIRE IN TRINITY COUNTY

The "WHY WERE WORRIED ABOUT WILDFIRE" Equation

Fire is a natural part of our environment. Our forests and rangelands were burning long before there was a Weaverville, Hayfork or Lewiston.

Many homes are built and maintained in this fire enviroment without regard to wildfire.

With more people using our wildlands, there is a greater chance of fire starts.

Today’s wildfires can burn intensely and be difficult to control.

Potential for: Greater loss of life Increased property losses More damage to natural resources. More money needed for firefighting.
