Residents in Alpine, Amador, El Dorado, Sacramento, and San Joaquin counties are reminded that the wildfire risk remains high despite the cold weather and the ban on burning landscape debris continues. The CAL FIRE Amador-El Dorado Unit stresses the importance of following this ban to prevent yard clearing from becoming a fire hazard.
While it might seem like time to start fall gardening, authorities urge residents to focus on fire prevention instead of yard work. CAL FIRE Amador-El Dorado Unit officials, through their social media, have promised to keep the public updated and will announce when it’s safe to resume burning.
Authorities continue to emphasize the importance of responsible fire prevention measures. The CAL FIRE Amador-El Dorado Unit reminds us that despite cooler winds and shorter days, ongoing drought and extreme weather make fire risks high.
