Earlier this week, we went all access with the S-2T. In this video, cameras inside the cockpit of the Grumman S-2T capture the action as one of our CAL FIRE pilots flies Tanker 93 out of Chico Air Attack Base. In 1996, CAL FIRE acquired 26 S-2E/G planes from the Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) program. Marsh Aviation converted the planes to a firefighting configuration and were retrofitted with modern, powerful turboprop engines. The completely reconditioned S-2Ts are faster, safer, more

Prior to the deployment of the 'helitorch,' which delivered a stream of fire from beneath a CAL FIRE helicopter, the controlled burn in Butte County was preceded by 18 months of preparation and planning by our @CALFIRE_ButteCo Unit. "Everything for this controlled burn had to line up just right with fuels, topography, and weather," said Division Chief Byron Vance. The goals of the prescribed fire were to reduce fuel load and create a bigger fuel break for the rural communities of Cohasset and Fo

While the Park Fire has altered many lives and the landscape we enjoy, there are stories of hope through the efforts by many. One such story is our efforts here in Butte County to work cooperatively in fuels reduction and prescribed fire. The Cave Vegetation Management Project was impacted by the fire as it moved towards the community of Cohasset, effectively stalling the fire for a period of time allowing people to evacuate and fire fighting equipment to engage.

Battalions 1 and 8 in Butte County took part in OVEIS training (that stands for "Orient, Vent, Enter, Isolate, and Search"... because we love a good acronym!) on Monday at our Openshaw Training Center. What is it? When firefighters are searching a multi-story building for victims, sometimes it's easier and safer to go directly to the room up a ladder from the outside, than to walk up the interior stairs of a smoke or fire-filled building. #firefighter #alwaystraining #calfirebtu #calfire #buttec

When a fire becomes too complex for our units to manage, CAL FIRE and our partners deploy specialized Incident Management Teams (IMTs) to take over. This year alone, we've activated 11 IMTs due to the dramatic upsurge in fire activity. Currently, we’re facing a unique scenario with the #ParkFire: two CAL FIRE IMTs are tackling the same blaze! IMT 3 is operating out of Chico, while IMT 4 is based in Red Bluff. The dual activation allows the Unified Command to deploy and support the over 6,300 per
