Burn permit suspensions are set to be lifted in Lassen, Plumas, and Modoc counties on Thursday, announced by Calfire’s Lassen Modoc Unit.
With the cooling of the weather, the department has determined conditions to resume burn piles are favorable to help reduce the risk of wildfires near communities.
Calfire stresses you must possess or obtain a burn permit prior to any burn project. You must get your burn permit online by visiting burnpermit.fire.ca.gov.
If you have an active ag or residential burn permit as of tomorrow, you will not have any restricted hours in which you can burn within the allowed burn days. Calfire maintains that all Agricultural burns must be inspected by CAL FIRE prior to burning until the end of the peak fire season.
CAL FIRE facilities will continue to be fully staffed until sufficient rainfall is received, allowing for the gradual reduction of fire control resources while prioritizing the ongoing efforts of fuel reduction initiatives. A Burn Suspension may be reengaged in the event adverse fire weather conditions return.
To confirm burn days, you can call each of the county’s local air pollution control districts.
