Following the Campo Fire that sparked Thursday, Cal Fire crews made the decision to suspend burn permits next week.

Burning conditions are definitely elevated from what we would normally get, Bohall said.
Bohall recommended that residents check in with local agencies before burning any kind of debris, and the agency encourages alternatives to burning such as chipping, composting or dropping off organic debris at green waste disposal sites.
