Burn Day Status Information

Burn permit holders can only burn on permissive burn days as determined for the North Coast area.

The public must call the District's Burn Day Status line each day at (866) BURNDAY or (866) 287-6329 to determine whether burning is allowed in each of the three burn zones designated within the District. Your burn zone information can be found at the top of your burn permit or by clicking here to view a map of the designations.

The District bases its determination on the findings of CARB's Metorlogical Branch, which specifies each day of the year as a Permissive Burn Day, or a No-Burn Day for each air basin or other specified area under Title 17, California Code of Regulations. Burn day decisions are driven by air quality estimates of air quality for the next day (the decisions are made the afternoon before they are effective) and by weather conditions.
