01/11/11 15:42
Butte County – Cooler weather and recent rains will allow CAL FIRE/Butte County Fire to transition into its winter preparedness levels – declaring the end of the official “fire season” on November 1st.
Burning restrictions will be lifted in the unincorporated areas of Butte County, with no burning permits required until May 1, 2012. Residents must still contact Air Quality Management District at 332-9407 to determine burn day status.
While cooler temperatures will help diminish the threat of wildfire, residents are urged to use caution while conducting residential dooryard debris burns. Burn only clean, dry vegetative waste such as leaves, pine needles and yard clippings.
For more information on burning, call the Fire Prevention Bureau at (530) 538-7888 or visit us on the Web at www.buttecounty.net/fire .
