Chief Holmes adds “this will be the last weekend you can burn your four foot by four foot backyard burn piles, so take this opportunity to finish up your defensible space clearances.” Note that this does not apply to the Lake Tahoe Basin so if you have questions regarding the Basin please call 530-543-2600. For information regarding proper burning techniques and other life-saving information, please visit the CAL FIRE website at www.fire.ca.gov or the Ready-Set-Go website at www.readyforwildfire.org.
