SAN DIEGO - Cal Fire San Diego will suspend all burn permits for outdoor residential burning in San Diego County, authorities said Thursday.
The suspension takes effect at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 1, and suspends all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris such as branches and leaves, Cal Fire officials said. "Due to increased fire risk, we are suspending all burn permits effective June 1," said Unit and Fire Chief Tony Mecham. ``This measure is essential to safeguard our communities and resources during this heightened period of danger."
