Debris burning can reduce wildfire risk in rural California—but when done carelessly, it can also start one.
Multiple CAL FIRE Units have recently responded to escaped debris burns.
Before you burn:
🔥 Secure a permit at
BurnPermit.ca.gov
🔥 Check that burning is allowed in your area that day
🔥 Clear a safe area around the pile
🔥 Keep water and tools nearby
Never leave a burn unattended, and make sure the fire is dead out before you leave.
If a burn starts to escape, call 911 immediately.
