As drought conditions continue to increase fire danger, the Cal Fire Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit [TCU] suspended all burn permits for outdoor or open residential burning within the parts of Tuolumne County, Calaveras County, Stanislaus County and San Joaquin County.
This suspension is effective at 8:00 AM on Monday, May 3, and the department banned all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris, including branches and leaves, in an unenclosed setting on land managed by California.
TCU Chief Nick Casci said while debris burning can usually help, at this time, it could pose a risk of starting a fire.
