Prescribed Fire

• Burn Permits: If you are interested in conducting a landowner led burn on your property, here are some resources that can help you understand what permits are required, as well as planning tools to support a successful burn:

  • Cal Fire Burn Permits

  • Humboldt, Del Norte, Trinity County Burn Permits

  • Siskiyou County Burn Permits

• White Paper on Air Quality and Liability for Rx Fire in California

Please engage your state legislators in working on the issues identified in the Karuk Fire Policy group’s “Good Fire” Report, which identified state actions to support and increase prescribed and cultural burning in California.
