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

It honors ancestral stewardship, introduces beneficial fire to help restore traditional foods and plant resources, and supports the long-term care of the land for future generations.

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
