Cal Fire has recognized the Ventura County Fire Protection District as a fire risk reduction community, effective now through July 2028. This is important because (a) VCFPD is the agency responsible for fire prevention and response in Thousand Oaks and (b) recognition brings priority consideration for Cal Fire’s Wildfire Prevention Grants and helps inform wildfire risk ratings.

"CAL FIRE Announces $10 Million In Available Funding for Tribal-Led Wildfire Resilience and Restoration Projects

Advancing wildfire resilience, forest health, and cultural use of fire.

Sacramento, CA – The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) is announcing the opening of a $10 million Tribal Wildfire Resilience Grant solicitation. These grants will support California Native American tribes in managing ancestral lands, implementing and promoting Traditional Ecological Knowledge for wildfire resilience, and creating wildfire safety projects for Tribal and non-Tribal communities.

Funded through Proposition 4 (California Climate Bond), Tribal Wildfire Resilience Grants fund projects in cultural and prescribed fire, fuels reduction, forest resilience, restoration of culturally important ecosystems, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, training, environmental compliance, and developing forest/fire management plans. These actions foster the future wellbeing of resilient ecosystems and tribal communities while also helping to mitigate climate change, protect communities from fire risk, strengthen rural economies, revitalize traditional land management practices, and improve California’s water resources and air quality...

Concept Proposals will be accepted beginning Wednesday, July 8, 2026, via the Tribal Wildfire Resilience Grants webpage and must be submitted no later than 12:00 PM on Wednesday September 8, 2026. Full applications are expected to be invited back in October and due in December 2026."

#CALFIRE #wildfires

IONE, CA — Yesterday, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) again partnered with the Torlakson Whole Child Institute (TWCI) to host a middle school career exploration field trip at CAL FIRE’s Ione Training Center. This is the second collaboration between the two organizations, continuing the shared mission to spark early interest in career paths in the fire service that do not require a traditional college degree.

The Ione Training Center welcomed students from Magnolia Intermediate School in Grass Valley who participated in hands-on activities and interacted directly with CAL FIRE professionals from various fields, which included Fire Technology, Emergency Dispatch, Building Trades, and Natural Resource Management. Each activity offered practical insight into the skills, responsibilities, and training associated with each field. Throughout the day, additional CAL FIRE professionals, from administrative, culinary, heavy equipment mechanics, heavy equipment operators, and logistics, lead the groups, answered questions, and shared their experiences.

“The Lost Bus” Torches the Screen With Tension

Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to watch The Lost Bus starring Matthew McConaughey and American Ferrera on Apple TV. This tension-packed film tells the harrowing story of a school bus driver, grade school teacher, and 22 elementary school students trying desperately to escape the 2018 Camp Fire that destroyed the City of Paradise, California.

The realism of the movie, including the immeasurable strength and tenacity of the wildfire, the valiant attempts by Cal Fire to get it under control, and the terrifying efforts to escape the rapid advance of flames and choking smoke by bus, car, or on foot, were simply spellbinding. Viewers will definitely be on the edge of they seats/sofas while viewing this memorable film.

It’s hard to fathom a wildfire that ignites at 6:15 a.m., reaches a city of 27,000 people (Paradise) located eight (8) miles away in two hours, and utterly torches it within four. One can only shake their head in awe (and fear) of the overarching power of Mother Nature when she’s been wronged by humanity’s disregard for the Earth.

As one who is in awe of the bravery of Smokejumpers, Hot Shot Crews, and other wildfire fighters, this film does a great job depicting the dangerous and deadly conditions they face on a regular basis. We owe them such an enormous debt of gratitude regardless of their place of birth for putting their lives on the line to protect us. It’s dedication like this and/or in service to our nation through the military, that should be rewarded and commended…not coldly tossed aside.

Peace!
