Fire - If you spot a fire and it is burn season (usually December 1 through April 30) you can call 1-800-Cal-Burn (1-800-225- 2876) to see if it is a "permissible burn day".  Burning on a "no burn day" or at night can result in receiving a citation.  Burning of yard trimmings is prohibited from May 1 to November 30 while dry weather increases the danger of wildfires.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) establishes and enforces safety regulations for burning.  Detailed information can be obtained from them during weekly business hours.  Their offices are at 6059 Highway 9 in Felton.  Their telephone is 335-5353.
