Redding / Weaverville, CA – With recent rainfall events and cooler weather, the current Burn Permit Suspension will be lifted effective Sunday, November 1, 2026. Burn permits are required pursuant to the provisions of section 4423.1 of the Public Resources Code.
CAL FIRE Shasta-Trinity Unit Chief, Sean O’Hara formally advises that those possessing current and valid agriculture and residential burn permits can now resume burning on permissive burn days within the State Responsibility Areas of Shasta and Eastern Trinity Counties. Agricultural burn permits within the state responsibility area may require inspection by CAL FIRE for new application / renewal permits, until the end of the peak fire season declaration by CAL FIRE.
While there remains a threat of wildfires, as we are still in declared fire season, current weather and vegetation conditions are conducive to safely utilize burning to reduce vegetation and create greater resilience to wildfires within communities and rural areas. CAL FIRE facilities will continue to be fully staffed until sufficient rainfall is received, allowing for the gradual reduction of fire control resources, while also prioritizing the ongoing efforts of fuel reduction initiatives. A Burn Permit Suspension may be re-issued in the event adverse fire weather conditions return.
