Warming temperatures, dry winds, and abundant annual grass growth are rapidly increasing fire danger across the region. In response, the CAL FIRE Amador-El Dorado Unit (AEU) is suspending all burn permits for outdoor residential debris burning within the State Responsibility Areas (SRA) of Alpine, Amador, El Dorado, Sacramento, and San Joaquin counties. This suspension takes effect at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, June 16, and prohibits all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris such as branches and leaves.
