Calfire has announced the suspension of its burn permits and open burning effective 8 a.m. Monday, June 8. Calfire Chief Shane Littlefield said the suspension is “due to the extreme menace of destruction by fire to life, improved property, or natural resources caused by critical fire weather and acute dryness of vegetation.” The suspension of burn permits is effective in all state responsibility area lands. Campfires within organized campground or on private property, that are otherwise permitted, will be allowed if the campfire is maintained in such a manner to prevent its spread to the wildland. The burn suspension is in effect until further notice. The county fire department has not yet announced a suspension of burn permits.
