Burn permits for outdoor residential burning will be suspended within eastern San Joaquin County starting Wednesday, Cal Fire said.
The ban, which will also take effect in Calaveras, Tuolumne and Eastern Stanislaus counties, will temporarily halt all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris, like branches and leaves, in areas of each county maintained by the state. 'As the weather continues to become hotter and dryer, the lower and mid elevation ranges are entering into conditions that are conducive to the spread of unwanted fires,' Unit Chief Nick Casci said.
The suspension of burn permits for residential landscape debris does not apply to campfires within organized campgrounds or on private property, Cal Fire said, as long as it is maintained in a way that prevents its spread to wild land. Campfire permits can be obtained at local fire stations or online at PreventWildfireCA.org. Special permits can still be obtained for industrial-type burning, like in agriculture, land management and fire training, after a Cal Fire official inspects the burn site.
