Outdoor burning in unincorporated Sonoma County is now banned. Permit Sonoma’s Fire Prevention Division made the announcement yesterday aligning with the state’s announcement of banning burning on state responsibility areas earlier this week. It suspends all open burning, although agricultural, forest management, fire training, and other industrial type burning may proceed if a Cal Fire official or a local fire chief has inspected the area and issued a permit. Increased fire danger posed by dead grass and hotter, drier conditions has prompted the moves by the county and state. The county will coordinate with Cal Fire on lifting the burn suspension when conditions are safe.
