Sonora, CA– CAL FIRE has issued a statement reminding the public that even with the recent rainfall, it does not mean debris burning suspensions are coming to an end.

CAL FIRE states “Burning remains suspended throughout the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit with warm and dry conditions expected to return at the end of the week. Save yourself from humiliation, a citation, and potentially hefty fines from an illegal or escaped debris burn by adhering to the BURN SUSPENSION. Alternatives to burning include chipping, mulching or disposal at a green waste facility.”

No date has been set for burning to commence again, and last year it took place near the end of October. An article covering that can be found here.
