Residential Burning
Other Important Information to Know Before Burning
- All vegetation must be dry and reasonably free from dirt.
- Before it rains, cover your burn pile with a tarp to keep it dry.
- If you burn pile is wet, let it dry before burning.
- Only burn vegetation that can be reasonably burned before the next day.
- Avoid causing a smoke nuisance, by curtailing your burning when it is drifting to neighbors or nearby businesses.
- CAL FIRE has put together an educational fact sheet (PDF) on safety when burning vegetation.
