Effective June 15th @ 8:00am

Burn permits suspended for North Bay counties.

CAL FIRE has suspended all residential outdoor burn permits for landscape debris in State Responsibility Areas of Colusa, Lake, Marin, Napa, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties.

The suspension takes effect Monday, June 15 at 8 a.m. and applies to outdoor residential burning of landscape debris such as branches and leaves.

With increasing fire activity, higher temperatures, lower fuel moistures and limited precipitation in the forecast, residents are encouraged to use this time to prepare their homes and properties for wildfire.

Help reduce wildfire risk by:

✅ Clearing dead or dying vegetation within 100 feet of structures
✅ Using fire-resistant plants and non-flammable ground cover
✅ Chipping, hauling or properly disposing of green waste instead of burning

Campfires may still be allowed within organized campgrounds or on private property where otherwise permitted, but they must be maintained safely to prevent spread.

Did you know that the leaves in your yard can impact your creek?

Leaves, in excess, introduced into the storm drain system can impact local waterways and the storm drain system designed to channel water away from your neighborhood. Leaf debris left, swept, raked, or placed on the ground or pavement can be carried by rain, residential water, or wind into our local creeks. An excess of leaves deposited into creeks will begin to decay, using up the oxygen needed by fish and aquatic life, releasing nutrients that encourage w**d and algae growth.

¿Sabías que las hojas en tu jardín pueden afectar tu arroyo?
Las hojas, en exceso, introducidas en el sistema de desagüe pluvial pueden afectar las vías fluviales locales y el sistema de desagüe pluvial diseñado para canalizar el agua fuera de tu vecindario. Los restos de hojas que se dejan, barren, rastrillan o colocan en el suelo o el pavimento pueden ser transportados por la lluvia, el agua residencial o el viento a nuestros arroyos locales. Un exceso de hojas depositadas en los arroyos comenzará a descomponerse, consumiendo el oxígeno que necesitan los peces y la vida acuática, liberando nutrientes que fomentan el crecimiento de malezas y algas.

Not sure what to expect from a no-cost wildfire assessment? Here's the quick breakdown 👇

When a SoCoAdapts Fire Prevention Specialist visits your Lower Russian River home:

👣 They walk your whole property
🔍 They check your defensible space: Zones 0, 1, and 2
🏡 They look at your roof, gutters, vents, siding, deck, and fencing
📋 They provide you a written report with specific next steps for your property
🚪 Not home? They assess from the street and leave a door hanger with your report code

For homes in forested communities like ours, they specifically look for debris against the structure, older vents, wood siding, and uphill terrain that can speed fire toward your home.

No appointment needed for a basic assessment. Schedule a full walk-through at SoCoAdapts.org/wrc
