Cal Fire on Friday lifted the suspension on burn permits, as recent rains and cooler weather have severely reduced wildfire risk in San Diego County\u2019s backcountry.<\/p>\n
People with agricultural and residential burn permits can now conduct burns on allowed burn days from 8 a.m. to sunset. However, Cal Fire must still inspect before agricultural burns, and possibly before residential burns. Permit holders must always notify their Cal Fire station before conducting a burn.<\/p>\n
Even though the region has gotten above-average precipitation so far this rainy season, which began Oct. 1, Cal Fire urged extreme caution when conducting a burn, emphasizing that the permit holder must have control over the fire at all times. People can be held criminally and\/or civilly liable if a burn gets out of control, fire officials warned.<\/p>\n
\u201cSafe residential pile burning remains a crucial tool for mitigating wildfire hazards,\u201d Cal Fire said in a statement. \u201cDuring this favorable weather window, state, federal and local agencies will also be conducting prescribed burns to improve forest health and resiliency on both public and private lands.\u201d<\/p>\n
