Effective as of midnight June 30, 2010 open burning of dooryard debris piles
will be banned in Butte County and state responsibility areas of Plumas
County. The annual suspension of burn permits goes in to effect each year on
July 1 in response to warmer weather, lower humidity and dry fuels.
The proclamation affects the unincorporated areas of Butte County only. The
suspension will remain in effect until the fire chief determines it is safe
to resume burning countywide. The cities of Biggs and Gridley will not be
affected by the burn permit suspension. The city of Chico does not allow
dooryard burning at any time during the year. The town of Paradise suspended
dooryard burning as of May 31, 2010 and will suspend all provisional burn
permits as of July 1. The city of Oroville will institute a ban as of July 1
in coordination with CAL FIRE/Butte County Fire Rescue.
Agricultural burning will not be affected by this suspension. Those parties
conducting agricultural burns are reminded that they must posses both an Air
Quality Management District agricultural burn permit and a valid Butte
County Fire Department burn permit. Butte County Fire burn permits may be
obtained at any staffed, local CAL FIRE/Butte County Fire Rescue station
free of charge. Agricultural burn permits may be obtained at the Air
Quality Management office in Chico at 2525 Dominic Dr., Suite J.
Debris burning of dooryard piles is historically one of the leading causes
of fires in Butte County. Individuals found burning during the suspension
period will be subject to appropriate civil or criminal action. Contact your
local fire department if you are unsure of the burning restrictions in your
area.
