TUOLUMNE PRESCRIBED BURN ASSOCIATION 

The Tuolumne PBA (formerly part of the Mother Lode PBA with Calaveras County) was created by a group of inspired locals who realize the importance of using fire as a land management tool. Our goal is to aid in the return of good fire to the land by providing our community with the tools, training, and resources to conduct burning operations of varying size and complexity on their own property. Even as prescribed fire becomes more widely accepted as the future of firefighting, it tends to be limited to government agencies on public lands - we aim to change that together.

At the Tuolumne PBA we accept all experience levels, whether you are a hotshot or you only almost successfully built a campfire once, we believe that fire is for everyone and that providing the public - we are the public! - the opportunity to manage their land using fire is integral to creating a fire safe community.

Sign up here to join our email list. Join us on Facebook here. Please invite your friends and neighbors - the need for good fire is urgent and we need all hands on deck!
