Aurora Studebaker is Briceland VFD’s new Fire Chief

Posted on May 20, 2021 by Briceland Fire

At our May 18 Annual General Membership Meeting, Chief Jim Fulton stepped down and Aurora Studebaker was voted in as the next Briceland Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief. Jim served as Chief from 1981-1999 and stepped up again from 2015-2021 after the sudden passing of Chief Tim Olsen. We are all grateful for Chief Fulton’s many years of service, leadership, and enduring dedication to the fire department and community. Jim will continue to assist the Department with duty officer coverage and other duties as needed. Aurora has been with BVFD for 15 years and moves up from Operations’ Chief to Fire Chief. Briceland VFD is fortunate to have the fire crew and community supporters that keep us strong. Thank you everyone who attended.

Tao Ryce, Briceland Fire Apparatus Engineer

Posted on March 25, 2021 by Briceland Fire

It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of fire apparatus engineer Tao Ryce. Tao passed away, suddenly, on March 23rd, 2021. Tao was a dedicated member of the fire department as well as an amazing father, husband, friend and community member. He lived his life with great intention and focus and truly embodied his name. Tao (in Chinese philosophy) the absolute principle underlying the universe, combining within itself the principles of yin and yang and signifying the way, or code of behavior, that is in harmony with the natural order. The Southern Humboldt community is hit hard by this loss and will miss Tao so much! Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts as we navigate through this difficult time.

    A Note from your Fire Department re Covid-19

    Posted on April 18, 2020 by Briceland Fire

    During this public health emergency, the Briceland Volunteer Fire Department would like our community to know that we are here for you.  If emergency services are needed, citizens are asked to inform the 911 dispatcher if they are experiencing, or have been exposed to anyone experiencing, flu-like or respiratory symptoms.  Our crews will be responding with PPE masks and gloves and may ask that others present at emergency response calls, patients or anyone else assisting, also wear a mask, and that bystanders maintain a safe distance.  We hope these practices do not cause alarm as they are meant to ensure that we all stay safe and that your emergency responders can continue to be there for you.

    Thank you all for helping limit community spread.  And as always, as fire season approaches, be fire safe.
