The
volunteer fire department DVD Ravna Gora was founded in 1888, and is today part of the
VZ općine Ravna Gora. The current commander of both the
VZ and the
DVD as of 2013 is Dražen Krepenc. The local chapter of the
HPS is
HPD "Bjelolasica", which had 23 members in 1936 under the Ivan Marković presidency. At the time, it had a
ski section. Membership fell to 21 in 1937. Membership fell to 15 in 1938, and the ski section became inactive. The next season, the entire chapter was inactive.
WWII monument in Ravna Gora Along with
Mrkopalj and
Vrbovsko, Ravna Gora was one of the only places in
Gorski Kotar that already had Ustaše when
Ante Pavelić arrived in 1941. In July, when the deportations of Serbs to accommodate the Slovenes of the population exchange commenced, the
logornik in Vrbovsko informed his superiors that all the Serbs were in Moravice apart from two retired
Serb gunmen in
Severin na Kupi. For the temporary accommodation of Slovenes in Ravna Gora, the
Deutscher dom was offered for the housing of 100 people but for its occupation by the Italians.
freezing rain fell on Gorski Kotar,
glazing the entire region. It wrecked roofs, power lines and forests, causing power loss for about 14,000 households in Gorski Kotar, or about 80% of its population. Because of power lines falling on the A6, the highway was closed in of
Rijeka between
Bosiljevo and
Kikovica, and between Kikovica and Delnice in the direction of Zagreb. It took about 10 days to restore essential infrastructure to the region, and within months electricity was back in most of its former range, but at a cost of about 84.4 million
HRK to
HEP. At the time it was the largest peacetime damage since its
Secession from Yugoslavia, even without counting the forestry losses. The
Šumarija Ravna Gora fared well relative to western forestry branches, losing mainly diseased and very poorly anchored trees. Clearing blocked forestry roads and forest paths would take years, and thanks to the declining population some were never cleared. On 28 October 2018, strong
convective precipitation led to flash flooding, causing all roads in and out to be closed. One night in mid-June 2019, the restaurant
Breza caught on fire. Three firefighters from the local volunteer fire department arrived on scene at 3:49, followed by six more, but efforts were focused on preventing its spread to adjacent inhabited rooms and all 12 bottles of air were used up, leading to cessation of firefighting until the
JVP Delnice could arrive, joined by the volunteer fire departments of
Stara Sušica and
Kupjak. The fire was under control by 6:15 and had been put out by 10:00. 30 firefighters participated with 5 vehicles. The fire caused about a million
HRK in damage. On 16 September 2022, heavy rain led to the
A6 interchange at Ravna Gora being closed due to flooding. ==Demographics==
