Fire sus
As drought conditions
continue to increase fire
danger in the region, Cal
Fire has suspended all burn
permits for outdoor open
residential burning within
the State Responsibility
Area of Lassen, Modoc and
Plumas counties.
This suspension took effect
at 8 a.m., June 29, and bans
all residential outdoor
burning of landscape debris
including branches and
leaves.
"Last year the
Intermountain Area
experienced the Eiler Fire,
the Bald Fire and the Day
Fire: three fires that burned
over 85,000 acres," said Dave
Junette, unit chief for the
Lassen-Modoc-Plumas Unit
of Cal Fire. "All three of
these fires required
evacuation, and many
homeowners experienced
firsthand how dilTmult it can
be when you are not
prepared."
"With record-setting
drought conditions we must
take every step possible to
prevent new wildfires from
starting," said Chief Ken
Pimlott, Cal Fire director.
"One less spark, means one
less wildfire."
Similar to last year, Cal
Fire has already responded
to significantly more
wildfires than the average.
Cal Fire is asking residents
rning
to ensure that they are
prepared for wildfires
including maintaining a
minimum of 100 feet of
defensible space around
every home.
Here are some tips to help
prepare your home and
property:
--Clear all dead or dying
vegetation 100 feet around all
structures.
--Landscape with fh:e
resistant/drought tolerant
plants.
--Find alternative ways to
dispose of landscape debris
like chipping or hauling it to
a biomass energy facility.
The department may issue
restricted temporary
burning permits if there is
an essential reason due to
public health, safety.
Agriculture, land
management, fire training,
and other industrial-type
burning may proceed if a Cal
Fire official inspects the
burn site and issues a special
permit.
Campfires within
organized campgrounds or
on private property that are
otherwise permitted will be
allowed if the campfire is
maintained in such a
manner as to prevent its
spread to the wildland.
