No surprise with burn ban lifted yesterday, unfortunately expect to see more of these as the winds pick up inland.
PLEASE folks wait til after this next storm system to do burn piles, the ground needs more time to saturate and the water table to hopefully rise.
Lift the burn ban and boom another fire starts to spread. Once again, a big thank you to Cal Fire for jumping on this quickly and stopping it. It is still not really wet enough to start fires. Please wait until there is more rain before starting fire to your burn piles, and PLEASE follow Cal Fire recommendations to be sure you are permitted and safe.
I think that there is enough rain now…
