Standard Burn Permits

It is mandatory to obtain a valid burn permit for all open outdoor burning for the purpose of disposing dried, natural vegetation grown on site. District permits are not required for small recreational or ceremonial campfires.

A standard burn permit authorizes an individual to burn a maximum of one pile (4' in diameter) of approved materials on the ground at a time. Burn hours are 6:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon on permissive burn days only. Call (866) BURNDAY or (866) 287-6329 for burn day status.

Permit applications can also be obtained (not issued) through participating local fire protection agencies and CDF fire stations. There are several ways to obtain a valid burn permit. District staff is available Monday- Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. to issue burn permits at our District office 707 L Street, Eureka, or by downloading the application and mailing it along with a check or money order payable to the AQMD.
