US Forests in California:

Cleveland Klamath Los Padres Plumas Shasta-Trinity Stanislaus
Eldorado Lake Tahoe BMU Mendocino San Bernardino Sierra Tahoe


Lassen National Forest (LNF - Forest #06) "Susanville" KMB 6-9-0

The forest was formed in 1905 when it was named one of the Forest Reserves, which were all renamed "National Forests" in 1907. It is named after pioneer Peter Lassen, who mined, ranched and promoted the area to emigrant parties in the 1850s. The size of the Lassen National Forest is 1.2 million acres. The Forest lies at the heart of one of the most fascinating areas of California, called the Crossroads. Here the granite of the Sierra Nevada, the lava of the Cascades and the Modoc Plateau, and the sagebrush of the Great Basin meet and blend. It is an area of great variety, greeting visitors and residents alike with a wide array of recreational opportunities and adventures. Fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, bicycling, boating, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and just exploring and learning about nature are among the many popular pastimes.

Within the Lassen National Forest you can explore a lava tube or the land of Ishi, the last survivor of the Yahi Yana Native American tribe; watch pronghorn antelope glide across sage flats or an osprey snatch fish from lake waters; drive four-wheel trails into high granite country appointed with sapphire lakes or discover spring wildflowers on foot.

The forest has 92,000 acres of old growth. The common tree species are Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii), Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), White Fir (Abies concolor), Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi), Red fir (Abies magnifica), and Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta).

The Forest is divided into the Almanor (District 1), Hat Creek (District 3) and Eagle Lake (District 8) Ranger Districts, with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Susanville. Personnel stationed at the Forest Supervisor's Office use an ID that begins with the number 6.

RADIO SYSTEM

The Lassen National Forest has a Forest Net and an Admin Net, each with 8 repeaters. The Service Net is located at 2 repeater sites. Direct (simplex) communications on each net is provided via a direct/repeater switch on radios . There are channels for the fire net of the BLM Northern California District and the local net for the Lassen-Modoc Unit of Cal Fire. The first 12 channels listed are common to all the radios of the Forest, regardless of function or location.

Other

The unit identifier system for non-fire personnel used on the Lassen National Forest is unknown. The Susanville Interagency Fire Center provides dispatching for the Lassen National Forest, the eastern portion of the BLM's Northern California District (Applegate and Eagle Lake Field Offices), the Lassen-Modoc-Plumas Unit of Cal Fire, and the fire function of Lassen National Park. The unit identifier for this center is "Susanville." Law enforcement dispatching for Lassen National Park is provided by the dispatch center at Yosemite National Park.
