Cal fire is suspending burning permits on all state responsibility lands within Inyo, Mono and San Bernardino counties. This is being done because of the continued extreme weather conditions and the acute dryness of the vegetation due to the lack of rain, which creates a high potential for wildland fire. The burn suspension took effect Friday, January 13, and is effective except in incorporated cities. Also, the use of campfires is restricted to campfire facilities located within established campgrounds that are open to the public. Homeowner’s responsibility is the key to fire safety.
