Summary
Following a multi‑year public engagement process and incorporation of CAL FIRE guidance, the Board adopted and signed the 2025 CWPP, which catalogs vulnerability assessments, priority regional projects and an action plan to reduce wildfire risk.
The Trinity County Board of Supervisors voted Feb. 3 to adopt the 2025 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and to sign a declaration of agreement endorsing the plan. Skyler Fisher, county Fire Safe Council coordinator with the Trinity County Resource Conservation District, summarized extensive public and partner engagement including mapping exercises in each district, updated vulnerability assessments, new action items (including vehicle abatement on evacuation routes) and specific priority fuels‑reduction projects by region.
"The purpose of the document is to identify values at risk within Trinity County," Fisher said, and described the plan’s 5‑year update rhythm and the recent incorporation of CAL FIRE’s CWPP toolkit. The plan also includes actions to identify funding sources for home hardening and explicitly calls for tribal partnerships on implementation.
The board applauded staff and community volunteers for the document and approved the declaration by unanimous vote. Fisher and staff said the adopted CWPP will position the county to pursue grants and coordinated fuels‑reduction projects with federal and state partners.
