In July 2018, the Carr Fire damaged the Ranger Station and Dispatch Center (Building 321), and completely destroyed the Autorie House. The 1,900 square-foot (sq-ft) Building 321 was repaired and currently houses all Law Enforcement (approx. 11 Rangers) and dispatch functions. With all Law Enforcement and dispatch operations consolidated into Building 321, space is extremely limited. Originally built in 1968 as a three (3) bedroom - two (2) bath house, it was not designed or constructed as a Ranger/ Dispatch Facility. Rangers require computer access and workspace in order to complete IMARS entries and reports. Dispatchers require space for multiple computer terminals, telecommunications and radio equipment, access to CLETS and IMARS to provide service to NPS and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rangers. Pest infestation is an ongoing problem and is made worse by the age and construction techniques in practice at the time of the construction of the building. Infestations include entry into the structure by the occasional poisonous snake and plenty of rodents. Occasionally, rodents damage interior and exterior features, Law Enforcement equipment, and data lines by chewing. Most of the interior electrical wiring and plumbing does not meet commercial code. With the Autorie House totally destroyed, the loss in storage space necessitated the purchasing of a shipping container for Emergency Service and SAR equipment storage. Processing of evidence is currently done in the kitchen area, while it also serves as staff kitchen; exposing employees to potentially hazardous material contaminated with neurotoxins. Required physical fitness (PT) activities must be now carried out at a public facility in town, 15 miles away. There is no location to conduct Law Enforcement Sensitive Briefing or manage counter marijuana operations. The Field Training and Evaluation Program (FTEP) is also being negatively impacted with the loss of the briefing room. Whiskeytown has been a part of the service wide FTEP since 2004. The Park accepts trainees year-round and trained approximately 8% of the NPS Law Enforcement workforce. Construction of this new facility will consolidate Law Enforcement operations into one (1) centrally located facility, allowing for improved employee and public safety, providing a higher level of service to visitors, and adequate workspace for protection Rangers, dispatchers, and field trainees. It will allow for safe and secure storage of NPS Law Enforcement equipment, vehicles, and meet all codes for Ranger Stations and other buildings designed for occupancy, as well as DM446 and RM9.
