Effective Monday, October 13th, 2025, at 6:00 AM the burn permit suspension in Humboldt, Del Norte, and western Trinity Counties will be lifted. CAL FIRE Humboldt – Del Norte Unit Chief Kurt McCray is formally cancelling the burn permit suspension and advises that those possessing current and valid general (LE-5) or residential (LE-62A) and North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District burn permits can now resume burning on permissible burn days. Mendocino County has also lifted their burn suspension.
CAL FIRE burn permits will be required until hazardous conditions have abated. Cooler temperatures, higher humidities, and recent rains have helped to begin to diminish the threat of wildfire. Property owners and residents must use caution while conducting debris or agriculture burns, follow all guidelines provided, and maintain control of the fire at all times. Individuals may be held civilly and/or criminally liable for allowing a fire to escape their control and/or burn onto neighboring property.
CAL FIRE Burn Permits may be obtained online at CAL FIRE BURN PERMITS
Residents wishing to burn MUST verify it is a permissive burn day prior to burning.
North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District (AQMD) burn permits are required year-round. To obtain an AQMD permit, visit NCUAQMD(dot)org
For more information on burning, visit the CAL FIRE website at fire(dot)ca(dot)gov.
