Yreka, Ca- The CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit will require residential burn permits effective 6:00 a.m. on
Wednesday, May 1, 2024, for any type of open burning within State Responsibility Areas (SRA) of Siskiyou County.
Greg Roath, Chief of the CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit wants to remind residents as we approach the upcoming fire season itโs important to be aware of the increased risk of wildfires and to take steps to prevent them. One of the leading causes of wildfire is escape debris burning, which is why itโs essential to follow safe practices when burning yard waste or agricultural debris. Always check the weather conditions and obtain the appropriate permit before burning, and never leave a burn pile unattended. We encourage residents to take advantage of green waste recycling programs and chipping services offered by local agencies to dispose of yard waste safely. By working together and taking proactive steps to prevent wildfires, we can keep our communities safe and protect our natural resources.
