Other work including thinning, chipping, prescribe fire, and other hazardous fuels reduction work is also potentially available outside of the fire season. LOCATION Firestorm runs its operations out of three primary areas in Northern California; Chico, Redding and Weaverville. Ideally these are the areas in which you must reside in or near by (within in an hour) while under employment in order to make the allocated response time. Firestorm holds National contracts that allow our resources to respond to an incident anywhere in the country, but we initially dispatch from one of these locations. We have worked as far east as Florida and New York, in the midwest including Nebraska, South Dakota and Oklahoma, and all throughout the west including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and of course, California.
