Lassen, Modoc, and Plumas Counties Burn Permit Suspension Lifted

10/24/2017

0 Comments

 

Susanville - Effective Tuesday 24, October at 12:00 AM the burn permit suspension in Lassen, Modoc, and Plumas Counties will be lifted. CAL FIRE Lassen - Modoc Unit Chief Don Gordon is formally rescinding the burn permit suspension and advises that those possessing current and valid agriculture and residential burn permits can now resume burning on permissible burn days. Agriculture burns must be inspected by CAL FIRE prior to burning until the end of the peak fire season. Inspections may be required for burns other than agriculture burns as well. This can be verified by contacting your local Air Quality Management District.

While cooler temperatures have helped to diminish the threat of wildfire, property owners and residents are asked to use caution while conducting debris or agriculture burns. Always use caution when burning, follow all guidelines provided, and maintain control of the fire at all times. Individuals can be held civilly and/or criminally liable for allowing a fire to escape their control and/or burn onto neighboring property.
Residents wishing to burn MUST verify it is a permissive burn day prior to burning.
  • In Lassen County call:
    Lassen County Air Pollution Control District (530) 257-2876

  • In Modoc County call:

Pile Burning Recommendations Continued
  • Piles should be no larger than four feet in diameter and in height. You can add to pile as it burns down.
  • Clear a 10-foot diameter down to bare soil around your piles.
  • Have a shovel and a water source nearby.
  • An adult is required to be in attendance of the fire at all times.
    Safe residential pile burning of forest residue by landowners is a crucial tool in reducing fire hazards. State, Federal and Local land management and fire agencies will also be utilizing this same window of opportunity to conduct prescribed burns aimed at improving forest health on private and public lands.
