Cal Fire's Mendocino Unit will suspend residential outdoor burn permits starting June 15, 2026, due to elevated fire danger. - The suspension applies to burning landscape debris like branches and leaves.
- Residents are advised to maintain 100 feet of defensible space and use alternative disposal methods. - Campfires in organized campgrounds or on private property are still allowed if properly managed.
- Temporary permits may be issued for essential public health or safety reasons. The suspension aims to reduce wildfire risk amid dry conditions and high grass fuel loads.
