CAL FIRE Suspends All Open Burning In Ten Counties


 Effective at 8:00 a.m. on Monday April 29th, 2013, CAL FIRE has implemented a Proclamation suspending burning in all State and Local responsibility areas within the Following Counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, San Benito, Monterey, and Western San Joaquin counties.
Beginning Today Monday April 29th, 2013, CAL FIRE will suspend all open burning in Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, San Benito, Monterey, and Western San Joaquin counties.
Open burning is any fire where the flame is exposed to the environment.

Officials say campfires are allowed as long as they are within organized campgrounds or on private property, and the landowner has given permission. They must be set up so they won't spread to nearby vegetation.

Industrial burning is also allowed as long as CAL FIRE officials inspect the burn site and issue a permit.

CAL FIRE declared the burn ban because it's a proven technique for preventing large fires from starting.

 Effective at 8:00 a.m. on

****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
