The Lower Mattole Fire Safe Council (LMFSC) was founded in 2002.
The mission of the Lower Mattole Fire Safe Council is to reduce risks and minimize damage to life, property, and the environment from wildfire, by coordinating efforts to fund and implement fire-safe education and projects in the Lower Mattole.
Since its inception, the LMFSC has partnered closely with the Mattole Restoration Council (MRC) on fuels reduction and fire safety projects. One such project is participation in the Fire-adapted Landscapes and Safe Homes (FLASH) program—a rebate program that reimburses property owners for hazardous vegetation management completed on their properties. The LMFSC and the MRC collaborated with the Humboldt County FSC in the development of the Lower Mattole Community Wildfire Protection Plan, with involvement from local, state, and federal land and fire management agencies, as well as officials from CAL FIRE and State Parks. Honeydew and Petrolia are communities in the lower Mattole that have been recognized Firewise communities since 2011.
