Our Story

Built by Neighbors,
Driven by Duty

Berry Creek Volunteer Fire Company was founded in 1975 by a handful of residents who recognized that the rugged terrain and dense forest surrounding our community demanded a reliable, local emergency response — one that understood the unique challenges of Plumas County.

Today, our roster of dedicated volunteers spans trades, professions, and generations. Teachers, mechanics, farmers, and office workers — all trained to the highest standards, all answering the call when it matters most.

We operate from our station at 283 Rockerfeller Road, covering a wide rural service area where response times can mean the difference between life and loss. Every call, every drill, every community event is an investment in the safety of everyone who calls Berry Creek home.
