Show Burning Permits required The closed fire season annually begins on June 1 and is in effect until October 31. During this period of time, a burning permit is required before conducting any open burning. State Law requires that "any farmer, rancher, or other landowner setting fire to any inflammable material on any forest brush, range, Grass, grain, stubble, or hay land" should obtain a burning bur-ning permit prior to burning. Conditions and terms prescribed with the permit must be complied with. The burning permit is required to meet the standards stan-dards of the Clean Air Act, to assure that proper fire officials of-ficials are notified, and to assure that a fire department depart-ment does not respond to the fire. The burning of ditch banks, canals, and fence lines on cultivated lands require a burning permit if the burning of such lands pose a threat to forest, range, or watershed lands. Burning permits can be obtained from your county firewarden, county sheriff, or other designated deputy firewarden. Contact these individuals and obtain a burning permit before conducting any open burning from June 1 through October 31. |
