  • If you are in an area that is not serviced by County Fire, then please seek a burn permit from your local Fire Authority.


 

  • This permit is valid ONLY on those days during which burning is NOT suspended by the District, the State Air Resources Board or other agency having jurisdiction.

  • This permit is valid ONLY for the fire type(s) listed on this permit and ONLY for the location listed on this permit.

  • OPEN FIRES MAY ONLY BE KINDLED ON THE PROPERTY OF THE PERMITTEE UNLESS WRITTEN PERMISSION IS OBTAINED FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER.

  • PERMITTED OPEN FIRES SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIC TO THE FIRE TYPE AS LISTED ON THE REVERSE OF THIS PERMIT.

  • Please contact San Bernardino County Communications Center at (909) 356-3805 to determine if it is a Permissive Burn Day prior to ignition as well as to prevent a Vegetation Fire Response from local fire agencies.
