Burn ban reference guide

Burn bans, no-burn days, and fire weather

Fire restrictions, smoke restrictions, and weather warnings are different checks.

Fire restrictions

Check the responsible fire authority’s current notice for the activities and area it covers. A county map may not show every city or public-land restriction.

Air-quality restrictions

An air-quality agency may have separate instructions about smoke and permitted burning. California residents, for example, should check the air district as well as the responsible fire agency.

Weather warnings

A fire-weather warning describes weather conditions. It does not replace a permit or a restriction order. Follow the responsible agency’s instructions, and do not use the absence of a warning as permission to burn.

Check each source that applies

Use the state links to start, then confirm the local fire authority, air-quality agency, and land manager where relevant.
