The mission of the Willow Creek Fire Safe Council is to reduce wildfire risk and increase survivability by implementing fuels reduction projects and encouraging residents of the greater Willow Creek area to make their homes, neighborhoods and community fire safe.

This project focused on roadside fuel reduction on private property long Brannan Mountain Road, treating within 500 feet of PG&E infrastructure and driveways adjacent to powerlines.
The resulting shaded fuel breaks protect PG&E electrical assets and reduces the risk of wildfire ignition and spreading into the communities and households that PG&E serves. The neighborhood has improved ingress and egress for residents and emergency services along Brannan Mountain Road, which is a vital secondary evacuation route for Eastern Humboldt residents.
This project removes dangerous hazardous fuels on private property, focusing on roadsides and within 100 feet of homes to create defensible space. This important work makes our community more safe by creating safe ingress/egress and protecting residents.
The next portion of this project will focus on completing Home Risk Assessments for homeowners. Homeowners can learn how to harden their homes against catastrophic wildfire, register water sources with the Blue Dot Program, and get address signs that will aid emergency services.
This multi-year project was designed and is being implemented in partnership with Humboldt County Resource Conservation District, Trinity County Resource Conservation District, and Willow Creek Volunteer Fire Department.
