Fire Mitigation & Defensible Space
Humboldt Shire can thin your forest, reduce fuel load (dead wood, fire ladders) and turn brushed-over areas back into a safer landscape. We encourage you to not be that property that firefighters have to give up saving during a wildland fire because of poor fire mitigation management.
For help maximizing your fireline defensible space on your property, we offer free inspections and services covering zones 1, 2 & 3 of your property that comply with CAL FIRE’S Title 14 Code of Regulations: Article 5.
We have decades of combined expertise of wild land firefighters, certified tree fallers and veteran CCC (California Conservation Corps) members on the crew with numerous certifications:
— Fire Fighter Type 1, 2, (RXCM)
— Prescribed Fire Crew Member
— S-190 (Intro Fire Weather)
— All 11 certifications for S-290 (Interm Wildland Fire Behavior)
— L-180 (Human Factors on the Fire Line)
— ICS-100 (Intro to Incident Command System)
— IS-700 (National Incident Management System Introduction)
— S-211 (Portable Pumps and Water Use)
— S-212 (Wildland Fire Chain Saw)
— Aerial Rescue for incapacitated climbers certification
— Pack Test (3 Miles under 45 minutes with 45 lb. pack)
