| Intermountain
Camp is located east of Redding, outside the community
of Bieber in Lassen County. Opened in 1962, the
facility houses 80 level-one inmates, and provides four
17-man fire crews. The camp provides quality metal
fabrication products to California State agencies, and
also serves as a large Federal Excess Property Depository
for the north state.
Intermountain
Camp performs work projects including fire hazard reduction,
forest, range and watershed enhancement, and other conservation
work for many stakeholders. The camp's sphere
of influence for community work projects extends north
to the Oregon border, encompassing both the Klamath
and Tulelake National Wildlife Refuges and Lava Beds
National Monument. To the west are Burney Falls
State Park, Lassen National Forest, Hat Creek, the Pit
River and the mountain communities of McArthur, Fall
River Mills and Burney. To the south, the camp
works in the Lassen Volcanic National Park and to the
north side of Eagle Lake. The eastern boundary
extends into Modoc National Forest and includes the
communities of Adin, Bieber, Nubieber and Lookout.
Intermountain crews are also a valuable resource to
the state in fire suppression, flood control and other
emergency responses.
