Jackson - The Amador-El Dorado Unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) announced the end of the burn suspension on Tuesday, October 13, for Amador and El Dorado Counties. Burn permits will still be required due to the fluctuating fire danger. Residents can obtain a burn permit free of charge at local fire stations and they must call the Burn Information Line immediately prior to lighting your pile(s) on fire. CAL FIRE warned residents to keep in mind if the fire were to escape your control or burn the property of someone else, they could face civil liability and criminal charges. Call your local burn information number to make sure it is a permissive burn day, because the Air Pollution Control District still controls whether or not you can burn. The number for Amador County is (209) 223-6246. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
