Alturas Elementary Students Boost Fire Safety Skills with CAL FIRE

Cal Fire Lassen-Modoc Unit-Facebook The CAL FIRE Lassen Modoc Unit, in collaboration with the Modoc Fire Safe Council and Alturas Elementary School, recently led a vital Fire Prevention Week program for local students. Focusing on this year’s theme, “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” students received handson training inside the

Fire Prevention Trailer. They gained essential knowledge on battery safety, evacuation strategies, and overall fire preparedness, in addition to learning about the dangers of playing with fire equipment and understanding firefighter fitness and gear. This community-focused initiative, shared by the CAL FIRE Lassen Modoc

Unit, shows the strong commitment to public safety education, ensuring younger residents understand critical fire prevention measures. By teaching these crucial lessons at an early age, the program helps build safer communities through increased awareness and preparedness. Residents are encouraged to follow the CAL FIRE Lassen Modoc

Veterans Day guide to honor local service members Veterans Day is a time for reflection, gratitude and community. This November, Modoc Record is preparing a special guide dedicated to honoring the men and women who have served in the nation’s armed forces. The guide will feature profiles of local veterans, community events, support resources and ways for residents to get involved. It will be printed and distributed throughout Modoc and Lassen counties. Stories will highlight resilience, sacrifice and

leadership, while event listings will provide information on parades, ceremonies and other gatherings. Readers will also find details on organizations offering assistance with health care, education and employment, as well as volunteer opportunities and donation drives. Community members are invited to help shape the guide. If you or someone you know has served, Modoc Media encourages you to submit a photo, name and years of service.

Submissions can be emailed to info@modocmedia.com. Veterans Day is not only about honoring the past — it’s about recognizing the ongoing contributions of veterans in our neighborhoods, workplaces and families. The guide aims to provide both inspiration and practical resources, ensuring local stories of courage and commitment are remembered and celebrated.

Unit on social media for ongoing safety tips and community updates. Now a beloved annual event, the Fire Prevention Week program is something that firefighters, staff,

and students alike look forward to each year— an opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate the shared responsibility of keeping their community safe.
