Debris Burning
Check out guidelines from CalFire for Debris Burning below.
The following are burning permit requirements:
For burning debris in small 4-feet x 4-feet piles:
Maximum pile size 4 foot in diameter.
Clear all flammable material and vegetation within 10-feet of the outer edge of pile.
Keep a water supply close to the burning site.
An adult should be in attendance with a shovel until the fire is out.
No burning shall be undertaken unless weather conditions (particularly wind) are such that burning can be considered safe.
No household trash or garbage can be burned outdoors at residences. Dry, natural vegetation, grown on the property can still be burned outdoors in open piles, unless prohibited by local ordinances. Burning can only be done on permissive burn days. Burn permits are only valid on “Permissive Burn Days” as determined by the State Air Resources Board or the local Air Pollution Control District (APCD).
Violations Of Any Burning Permit Terms Are A Violation Of State Law
(Public Resources Code 4421, 4422, 4423 And 4425)
