Community Safety & Awareness Report-May 28, 2025
KMUD’s new Community Resources and Calendar page is now live on the KMUD website, wordpress-1438018-5376424.cloudwaysapps.com, under the COMMUNITY dropdown menu. Our improved calendar provides up to date information for farmers markets, food distributions, public meals, blood drives and other community services. This public calendar allows our community members to better plan their days; providers can share and sync their organization’s google calendar. Moving forward, we will continue to add events and information that benefit our community.

Reminder, burn permits are required for ALL open burning. Burn hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Burn piles are limited to 4’ x 4’, unless otherwise stated by a fire agency. You can only burn vegetative matter.
Today, Wednesday, May 28th, is a permissive burn day in Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties.
As of May 1st, , the CAL FIRE Humboldt – Del Norte Unit requires both Standard and Non-Standard Burn Permit holders in State Responsibility Areas, to also obtain a CAL FIRE Burn Permit. A North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District (NCUAQMD) burn permit is still required year-round and contains the permittee’s designated burn zone.
This concludes the Community Safety and Awareness Report, read weekdays at 11 and 3pm and as needed to bring you up to the minute road reports, burn permission status, emergency updates as well as programming information. We encourage our listeners to bookmark our new community resources and calendar page for up to date and detailed information of all the services our community offers, including a new, exhaustive 88- page compilation from the DHHS.
