Burn Permit Options
This permit is intended for the disposal of the combustible or flammable vegetative material from a single- or two-family dwelling unit or residence by burning outdoors in small burn piles, no larger than 4 ft x 4 ft. Residential burning is not agricultural, including prescribed, burning.
Other burn permits (LE-5 and LE-7/8) include those for large pile burning, agricultural burns, incinerators, hazardous projects that could cause a fire (such as outdoor welding), and larger controlled applications of fire to the land for fuel reduction purposes. These permits are reviewed by Unit staff and might require a site inspection.
IMPORTANT
CAL FIRE Burn Permits are only for within the State Responsibility Area (SRA) or where CAL FIRE has jurisdiction.
For information and permits required outside the SRA / CAL FIRE jurisdiction, contact your local city/county fire authority and regional air district.
Violations of any Burning Permit Terms are a violation of State Law.
