Burn ban reference guide
County, city, and fire district rules
Find the authority for the place you are actually using, not just the name on the mailing address.
Inside or outside city limits?
A county can contain multiple cities and unincorporated areas. Ask whether the county order covers your location and whether a city has separate outdoor-burning requirements.
Fire districts and special jurisdictions
A local fire district may handle permit questions outside a city. Parks, national forests, other public land, and Tribal land can have separate responsible agencies. Check the land manager before planning a campfire.
What to ask
Give the address or named recreation area, the date, and the activity. Ask which restrictions and permits apply and where the current written instructions are posted.
