Don’t forget about old burn piles! As residential debris burning ends for the season, be sure to check any burn piles that were previously burned. If you have an old pile, make sure it is cold to the touch, thoroughly stirred & completely extinguished. When in doubt, add water.

A safer community doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people decide to build one. That’s exactly what happened in the Spanish Flat community in northern El Dorado County. See the full story:

Debris burning can quickly escape & lead to a wildfire if not done safely. Before you burn, make sure you’re following the proper steps to help protect your home, property & community. Check out this video for debris burn safety tips and guidelines.

As debris burning activity increases, be sure you are doing it right! Clear all flammable vegetation at least 10 ft around your burn pile down to bare mineral soil. That means removing grass, leaves, pine needles, and anything else that can carry fire. Extra prep goes a long way.
