CAL FIRE Suspends Burn Permits in Lassen, Modoc, and Plumas Counties Saturday, July 15th.
Unit Chief Scott Packwood said after a wet winter and above-average snowpack, warming temperatures and winds are quickly drying out the abundant annual grass crop. The increasing fire danger posed by dead grass and hotter, drier conditions in the region is prompting CAL FIRE to suspend all burn permits for outdoor residential burning within the State Responsibility Area of Lassen, Modoc, and Plumas Counties.
This suspension takes effect at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 15, 2023, banning all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris.
