Burn Permits!

Burn Permit Information

CAL FIRE's Burn Restrictions and Burn Permits During certain times of the year residential landscape debris burning of dead vegetation is allowed. However, homeowners should always check with their local CAL FIRE station and local air quality management agency before burning. In many area burn permits may be required. For more information on debris burning safety download an educational fact sheet. To find out if it is a permissive burn day in your area, contact your local air quality district. Contact information may be found at the State Air Resources Board website. Burn Restrictions When the weather begins to cool down and fire danger decreases, CAL FIRE will lift burn restrictions on residential debris burning. CAL FIRE's burn restrictions only apply to State Responsibility Areas (SRA). Check with your local fire station to see if CAL FIRE's burn restrictions affect you and whether a burn permit is required. When a burn restriction is in place there is absolutely no debris burning allowed. Click HERE to see how you can protect your home with Roofsaversprinklers.com

Calfirfe Campaigns for Local Firewood Usage

Calfire Campaigns for Local Firewood Usage

In an effort to keep forests healthy, Calfire encourages Californians to buy their firewood locally. Teaming up with the California Task Force, Calfire began their public outreach campaign in September with the goal of informing campers, wood cutters, arborists, and the general public about the risks of using transported firewood.
Firewood transported over long distances may contain insects or pathogens that are unfamiliar to the territory where they are purchased. These life forms are invisible to the naked eye, so it is impossible to distinguish a harmless log from a potentially detrimental one. Introducing an invasive species into an environment can be very damaging, both environmentally and economically, because the environment does not have the natural defenses needed to fight off pest attack.
Calfire's campaign is taking many approaches to deterring this issue, which has increased in recent decades due to heightened globalization. By surveying campers' knowledge of invasive species in areas affected by the invasive beetle species likely introduced to San Diego County by out-of-state firewood, Calfire hopes to gain feedback that will help them target their long-term audience as effectively as possible. The campaign also includes hanging informative firewood posters in campgrounds and parks, mailing pamphlets to industry professionals, and distributing informative frisbees and playing cards to campers.
