AEU suspending all burning permits within SRA of Amador and the west slope of El Dorado counties.

Burn Permits to be Suspended July 1, 2009

Camino - As of 8:00 a.m. Wednesday, July 1, 2009, the Alpine-Amador-El Dorado-
Sacramento Unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL
FIRE) will suspended all burning permits within State Responsibility Areas (SRA) of
Amador and the west slope of El Dorado counties.

The Unit Chief, Bill Holmes based his decision to suspend dooryard burning, on past fire history combined with dry vegetation, predicted fire weather, and other factors. CAL FIRE appreciates the efforts residents have taken to create defensible space and reminds everyone to, “Do your
part and take Responsibility.”

This suspension does not apply to the portion of El Dorado County that lies within the
Lake Tahoe Basin, for burn information in this area call (530) 543-2600.
Anyone with questions about this suspension may contact their nearest CAL FIRE or
US Forest Service facility.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
