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.

In the afternoon of March 20th, BVFD Chief Olsen passed away of a heart attack.

The department and the entire community he served for so many years are in mourning at this sudden loss. More details will follow soon. For now, here is what County Supervisor Estelle Fennell had to say on BVFD’s Facebook page.

Thank you, Tim for all you did to follow your dream and make the BVFD one of the best little fire departments ever! We will miss your energy, your heart, your generosity of mind, body and spirit. Your memory will be with us forever and all who knew and loved you will carry the dream forward!

There will be a ceremonial flag raising and lowering at 1800 hours at the station today in his honor.

About Your Amended Property Tax Bill

Posted on March 3, 2013 by mikal

A message to property owners from Briceland Fire Protection District Board President Gerald Meyers.
March 2, 2013

Property owners within the newly created Briceland Fire Protection District (BFPD), have now received their amended tax bill for the 2nd Installment of their property taxes for fiscal year 2012-2013. This installment is due April 10th. This revised statement includes a direct charge of $85 from the Briceland Fire Protection District. BFPD was created by the registered voters of the District in a special election held in August, 2012. At that time, District voters also elected a five-member board of District residents to administer this tax.

The $85 charge per Assessor Parcel for the fiscal year was authorized by the voters too late to appear on the normal tax bill, CLICK HERE FOR THE ENTIRE LETTER

Vehicle over the bank on Briceland Road this morning.

Posted on January 15, 2013 by mikal

Briceland volunteers responded to a vehicle over the bank one mile east of Briceland. One patient was transported to the hospital.

As of 10:30 am, all Briceland personnel at scene have been released from duty and the scene cleared, but the road will likely remain icy in the shady spots throughout the day.

Our local roads are narrow and curvy year round, but frost during these cold snaps makes them treacherous. Remember, it’s only a painted line between you and oncoming traffic or the edge of the road.

Single Vehicle vs. Tree on Briceland Road. (The tree won.)

Posted on November 12, 2012 by mikal

BVFD volunteers, the CHP and Garberville ambulance responded to a single-vehicle traffic collision on Briceland Road on the morning of November 6th. The driver was taken by ambulance with moderate injuries.

The car was totalled. This is the tree on the right, at the curve after the long straightaway East of Briceland.

The tree was badly bruised, but will recover physically, if not psychologically. It seems to have anger issues because it hits cars right there every couple of years. We’d recommend driving a little slower so as not to provoke it until it can get the help it needs.
