CAL FIRE Rescinds Outdoor Burn Ban In Several Central Coast Counties
Felton – Due an extended period of dry conditions this year, CAL FIRE maintained a ban on outdoor open burning in the Central Coastal region from May through December. With the recent rainfall across the region, fuel moisture levels have increased to levels that allow for safer burning conditions. For thatreason, the CAL FIRE Unit Chiefs for this area have agreed to lift the remainder of the ban in San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Benito, Monterey and portions of San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties. Effective 8:00 am on Monday December 9, 2013.
