CAL FIRE's Burn Restrictions and Burn Permits

During certain times of the year, residential debris burning of dead vegetation can be done safely when fire danger is low. However, homeowners should always check with their local CAL FIRE station and local air quality management agency before burning. For more information on debris burning safety download an educational fact sheet.

To find out if it is a permissive burn day in your area, contact your local Air Pollution Control District.  Contact information may be found at the State Air Resources Board website. 

Burn Restrictions

When the weather begins to warm up and fire danger increases, CAL FIRE will restrict all residential debris burning. When a burn restriction is in place there is absolutly no debris burning allowed.
