As of 8 a.m. on Monday morning, the region's burn permit suspension was officially lifted and CAL FIRE gave the green light to resume burning. According to Patch, burning is allowed from sunrise to sunset on designated days.
If you're planning some serious burning, whether it's agricultural leftovers or residential, reach out to CAL FIRE for an inspection and maybe some expert advice on avoiding turning everything into ash. San Diego County Fire Chief Tony Meacham mentioned in the Patch report that people with valid agricultural and residential burn permits can burn from 8 a.m. to sunset on permitted days. Don't forget to check with your local CAL FIRE station beforehand.
If you're unsure about permits, CAL FIRE's burn permit page has all the details. The rules dictate that you need a permit starting November 27 and always check the local air quality.
Cooler temperatures, increased humidity, and the possibility of some wintry rain have diminished the wildfire threat, according to CAL FIRE via Patch. However, they're cautioning everyone to keep the burns safe and sane.
