Cleaning Up After Mother Nature

Recent storms have left some of our yards looking like we were struck by a tornado.  The sound of chainsaws and the smell of smoke has permeated our mountain air.  
To check if it's a permissable burn day in your area you must call the Air Quality Control District at 1-877-429-2876.  Additionally, you must obtain a burn permit from one of the local Cal Fire locations.
The following are burning permit requirements:
For burning debris in small 4-feet x 4-feet piles:
▪▪ Maximum pile size 4 foot in diameter.
▪▪ Clear all flammable material and vegetation within 10-feet of the outer edge of pile.
▪▪ Keep a water supply close to the burning site.
▪▪ An adult should be in attendance with a shovel until the fire is out.
▪▪ No burning shall be undertaken unless weather conditions (particularly wind) are such that burning can be considered safe.
