Ellen Ryerson, introduced as Shoshone County's new director of fire mitigation, said she is building a geo-referenced treatment map, convening monthly meetings with Avista, and reviewing a landowner program agreement with county attorneys to scale fuels-reduction work.

Forest Service officials said they have met or exceeded targets for prescribed (Rx) fire on the Siuslaw and that crews were burning piles locally; the Hebo office also described a wildfire module and peak-season staff levels. Commissioners asked about coordination with local wildfire plans and community fuels work.

The Lake County Conservation District told commissioners it is on track toward a countywide goal to treat 20,000 acres by 2033 and outlined partnerships that increase its priority for state and federal fuels-reduction funding.

Officials including Commissioner Dave Upthegrove and Governor Ferguson called this potentially the worst fire season in state history, urged investments in prevention and fuels reduction and said long-term funding and legislative work will be needed to lower future suppression costs.

A Cal Fire representative said a wildfire is burning near Arroyo Seco Road in South Monterey County and described a $30 million Cal Fire fuels‑reduction grant program whose initial concept applications are due June 30; grants target Firewise communities, homeowners associations and Fire Safe Councils, not individual homeowners.

CAL FIRE’s Mendocino Unit will conduct a 10-acre prescribed burn on Shamrock Ranch the evening of June 19 to reduce vegetation and enhance wildfire resilience.

County fire officials said Iron County has recorded 38 fires (3,943.5 acres, mostly on BLM) year‑to‑date and outlined completed and planned fuels projects (Antelope Springs 280 acres, Bowery Creek partnership 1,500 acres, Braffitts Creek out to bid) and outreach and training efforts.
