CAL FIRE SUSPENDS BURN PERMITS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY

East County News Service
 
May 30, 2024 (El Cajon) – After another wet winter, warming temperatures and winds are quickly drying out the abundant annual grass crop. The increasing fire danger posed by the high volume of dead grass and hotter, drier conditions in the region is prompting CAL FIRE to suspend all burn permits for outdoor residential burning within the State Responsibility Area of San Diego County. This suspension takes effect 8:00 am on June 1, 2024 and suspends all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris such as branches and leaves. 
 
"Due to increased fire risk, we are suspending all burn permits effective June 1st. This measure is essential to safeguard our communities and resources during this heightened period of danger," said Unit and Fire Chief Tony Mecham.
