ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CALL THE FOLLOWING BURN INFORMATION LINES FOR BURN DAY STATUS: AMADOR COUNTY (209) 223-6264. THE WINTER MONTHS ARE A GREAT TIME TO WORK ON MAINTAINING YOUR DEFENSIBLE SPACE AROUND YOUR HOME AND STRUCTURES ON YOUR PROPERTY.  PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE “DEFENSIBLE SPACE” REGULATIONS CHANGED AS OF JANUARY 1ST, 2005, TO ONE HUNDRED FEET AROUND EVERY STRUCTURE OR TO THE PROPERTY LINE, WHICH EVER IS CLOSER. 

THIS DOES NOT MEAN A BARREN LANDSCAPE.  IT DOES MEAN SEPARATING FUELS FROM EACH OTHER, KEEPING YOUR WEEDS CUT DOWN AND MAINTAINING THIS FROM YEAR TO YEAR.  FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE NEW REGULATIONS VISIT THE CAL FIRE WEBSITE AT WWW.FIRE.CA.GOV, STOP BY YOUR LOCAL CAL FIRE STATION, OR CONTACT THE AMADOR FIRE SAFE COUNCIL AT AMDORFIRESAFECOUNCIL.ORG.
