ABOUT THE PBA
Together, we burn. Together, we prepare.
The Shake Ridge Prescribed Burn Association (PBA) is a community-led group bringing good fire back to the land in Amador County. Built on a barn-raising model, we unite neighbors, landowners, and trained practitioners to safely plan and implement prescribed burns.
Our goal is to reduce wildfire risk, restore healthy landscapes, and build local capacity through hands-on training and real-world experience. Working alongside California Certified Burn Bosses, we ensure burns are conducted safely, legally, and to high standards.
We believe the best solutions are local and community-driven.
