About Bucks Lake Fire Department

The Bucks Lake Fire Department (BLFD) is a volunteer non-profit 501(c)(4) public benefit corporation that provides fire, rescue, and emergency medical services to the Bucks Lake community in Plumas County, California. Our volunteer firefighters work and train diligently to ensure the safety of our special mountain community.

We are supported primarily by annual voluntary membership dues and from occasional contributions from community members and other civic organizations. We do not receive any taxpayer money from Plumas County that would normally flow to a municipal fire department or a fire district.

The BLFD is governed by a volunteer three-person Board of Directors that are elected by a vote of the dues paying members of the community. The positions of Fire Chief, Board Treasurer, and Board Clerk are all selected by the Board of Directors.
