CAL FIRE Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit Chief Brian Estes has officially lifted the burn suspension, permitting residents to resume burning on approved days. With cooler temperatures and increased humidity mitigating wildfire risks, property owners are urged to exercise caution during debris or agriculture burns. Compliance with guidelines is essential, and residents should always maintain control of fires. Non-residential air quality burn permits may be necessary, prompting individuals to contact local air districts.
Notably, civil and criminal liabilities may be imposed on those failing to prevent fires from escaping control, emphasizing the need for responsible burning practices in the region.
If you wish to burn, you MUST verify it is a burn day before burning. If in Sierra County you can call the Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District at (530) 274-7928 or visit Northern Sierra’s burn day website: https://myairdistrict.com/
