CalFire has suspended burn permits for outdoor landscape debris in 13 counties, including San Benito, as of June 13.
"During certain times of the year, when fire danger is high, residential debris burning of dead vegetation is unsafe," CalFire said in a statement. "However, homeowners should always check with their local CalFire station and local air quality management agency before burning."
When the weather begins to warm up and fire danger increases, CalFire will restrict all residential debris burning. When a burn restriction is in place, there is absolutely no debris burning allowed.
