Red Bank station is in the unincorporated area of Tehama County west of Red Bluff. The Red Bank area was named after Red Bank Creek, a tributary to the Sacramento River. The station serves the citizens and protects property from the valley floor to the Mendocino National Forest to the West. In recent years, several major fires have occurred in the area due to its extremely rough terrain and limited access. These fires include the Ranch, Red Bank, and Elkhorn.
