The Howard Forest station serves as a fire and emergency medical services for Mendocino County. The compound is also the location of the Howard Forest Helitack Base. Thank you for your service!

Too bad money is tight. Historic bldgs. need work. Deputy chief told me tree fell on historic 1937? truck garage in 1998?. I wish dispatchers would name fires with names that hint their points of origin. Ridge Fire of '01 by Poonkinny Ridge could have been named better, like Poonkinny Fire . Valley Fire of '15 by High Valley Creek could have been named better, like High Valley Fire. The list goes on and on.

Questions & Answers

What kind of maps do dispatchers use? Do they show names of geographic features? I ask because fires are commonly given very vague names that don't hint their locations such as Ridge Fire of '01 by Poonkinny Ridge, Creek Fire of '04 by Division Creek

Incident names are chosen at the discretion of the dispatchers, usually based off information gathered during the call. Sometimes they are named because of their location but it's not a requirement. They are also sometimes renamed later for various reasons.

Is Willits south/ east area clear to return home
