Deb Bumpus Joins Lassen Fire Safe Council Board

Lassen Fire Safe Council is pleased to announce that Deb Bumpus, retired Lassen National Forest Supervisor, has joined the LFSC Board of Directors. For those of you unfamiliar with Deb’s long career, it began in 1991, as a Wildlife Biologist in the Plumas National Forest and spanned various roles across several national forests, including key positions such as Regional Assistant Threatened and Endangered Species Program Manager and Ecosystem Staff Office. Deb served as Forest Supervisor of Lassen National Forest since August 2019, leading significant initiatives like the growth of Lassen partners, vegetation and fuels reduction projects, and a long-term management agreement with Lassen College’s Foundation for campgrounds at Eagle Lake. She has spent her career dedicated to public service and to building relationships with local communities, tribal neighbors, and various partners. LFSC has worked with Deb in her role at Lassen National Forest and we value the experience, knowledge, and unique perspective she brings to our Board. When asked why she wants to serve she said “I’m excited and looking forward to working with the Lassen Fire Safe Council in this new role. My reasons for involvement are to continue to work with the Council on fuels work within the County and with our neighbors. The Council has an excellent reputation and is in a good position to continue this good work.” Deb has also expressed an interest in assisting the Council in furthering its efforts with the important work of community engagement and education. Please help us welcome Deb to our LFSC Board!
