Rizzardo Prescribed Burn

The City of Yreka, in collaboration with the Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District, plans to conduct a prescribed burn covering approximately 8.5 acres of pasture, grass, and shrubland along Highway 3 to reduce hazardous fuel loads and enhance wildfire resilience. The activity aims to suppress invasive plant species and promote the restoration of native grasses through controlled broadcast burning. This initiative is designed as a collaborative effort involving multiple local agencies including the Shasta Valley RCD, the Siskiyou Prescribed Burn Association, the City of Yreka Fire Department, and CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit, fostering coordinated action and shared expertise in land management and ecological restoration. The project is formally listed under the title Rizzardo Prescribed Burn and is managed by the Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District. The initiative is forecasted with a posted date of June 3, 2026, and the primary point of contact for inquiries is Rod Dowse, District Manager, and Renee Main, Project Coordinator, both reachable through the district’s main office line and email addresses. The work will occur exclusively within Yreka, California, and though no solicitation number or NAICS code is provided, the effort underscores a community-driven strategy to improve land health and safety through science-based prescribed fire practices.
