*Please note that since the completion of the CWPP in June of 2015
that the Hoopa Valley Wildfire department has been restructured and is
now the Hoopa Valley Fire Department (HVFD) and the main point of
contact is Rod Mendes, Chief Hoopa Fire Department and 2015 Hoopa
Valley Indian Reservation Community Wildfire Protection Plan 3 | Page
Director of the Office of Emergency Services. The HVFD reports
directly to the Tribal Chairman. This note documents the change in
communication structure and point of contact for the Hoopa Valley Fire
Department and the Hoopa Valley Indian Tribe Community Wildlfire

In 1991, the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation, through the
self-governance process, compacted the Wildland Fire Program from the
BIA and formed the Hoopa Volunteer Fire Company (HVFC). Since then
fire protection on the reservation is undertaken by the Hoopa Wildland
Fire Company (HWFC) and the Hoopa Volunteer Fire Company (HVFC). The
HWFC is supported by ten full-time members, seven temporary members,
and six seasonal members. They are responsible for wildland fires and
are under the jurisdiction of Hoopa Forestry. Their apparatuses
include: four type-3 engines, two type-4 quick attack engines, and one
water tender. The HVFC, established by the tribal council, is an
all-risk organization that deals with structural fires and provides
fire services to all residents within the reservation boundaries. It
consists of 14 volunteers, and their apparatuses include: one type-1
engine, one type-3 engine, one rescue utility vehicle, a command
vehicle, and a Yamaha jet outboard unit. During the fire offseason the
HWFC maintains a "skeleton crew" to staff an engine 365 days a year.
Volunteer Fire generally has at least 3-5 volunteers on call 24 hours
a day and 365 days a year. Both programs are trained in ICS and
pertinent emergency response programs. The HWFC works through the use
of Mutual Aid agreements to partner with other agencies including the
HVFC to provide structural fire suppression in wildland fire
situations.
