Southern Trinity Area Rescue

A big warm up is expected this week with a taste of summer-like temperatures. If you plan to seek relief by recreating in an area lake, river, or stream, remember that it is still March and the water is COLD. Our lakes, rivers, and streams are fed by snowmelt, and the water remains significantly colder than the surrounding air. Be sure to wear a life jacket because water at these temperatures can cause cold water paralysis and lead to drowning.

Measles is a very contagious disease caused by a virus that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Make sure you and your family are up to date on the MMR vaccine. Find more vaccination information at: cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Immunization/family.aspx.

Thank you again, Measure Z

We are continuously grateful for the support Humboldt County has given STAR through Measure Z and hope the aid we have given residents of Eastern Humboldt and visitors to Ruth Lake has shown the value of that support.
Thank you.

Got a cold or the flu? 🚨 Remember, antibiotics won't help with viruses and using them unnecessarily can lead to antibiotic resistance.

Here are three simple ways you can stay healthy and protect your loved ones! ✨

💊 Prevent germs from spreading. Wash your hands, cover your cough and stay home when sick to keep viruses and bacteria from spreading.

💊 Take antibiotics exactly as prescribed for you.

💊 Get your vaccines! Staying up to date on your vaccinations for flu and COVID-19 helps prevent infections in the first place.

Today, our nation pauses to honor the brave individuals who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the courage and unwavering dedication of those who stood in defense of our nation, both at home and abroad. Their service reminds us of what it means to put others first and to protect what matters most.
At CAL FIRE, we’re proud to have many veterans in our workforce. The same sense of duty and teamwork that defined their time serving inspires our work in protecting lives, property, and natural resources every day.
To all veterans, thank you for your service, your courage, and your continued commitment to others.
