CAL FIRE Burn Permit Responsibility Area Viewer shows if properties are located within CAL FIRE's State Responsibility Area (SRA).

CAL FIRE

​During certain times of the year and in certain parts of the state, residential landscape debris burning of dead vegetation is allowed. However, homeowners should always check with their local fire station or CAL FIRE station, as well as local air quality management agency before burning. Burn permits are required many places and during the dry months, CAL FIRE prohibits burning altogether. CAL FIRE issues burn permits for their jurisdictions and posts burn day status information online.

CAL FIRE Burn Permits are only for within the State Responsibility Area (SRA), or where CAL FIRE has jurisdictional authority. For information and permits required outside the SRA / CAL FIRE jurisdiction, contact your local City/County fire authority. If the status in your county is marked as "Burning Allowed", you still must confirm that it is a permissive burn …

Watch Duty, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, alerts one of nearby wildfires and firefighting efforts in real-time.

Information in Watch Duty is provided by volunteers – firefighters, dispatchers, and first responders – who monitor radio scanners and other sources to supply users with up-to-date information.

During a wildfire event, it's important to check other trusted information sources. Information featured in Watch Duty, due to the nature of its operation, is fast-changing and should usually not be used as a standalone source for critical news and updates.

Features include:

• Real-time Wildfire Alerts
  Receive notifications about the status and conditions on the ground as they change.
• Monitor Wildfires and Prescribed Burns
  Know if that smoke in the distance is a fire you need to be worried about.
• Evacuation Orders & Shelters
  Find evacuation notices, as well as shelters for people and animals.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) operates a Geographic Zones Map to help communities understand local wildfire risks and Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) protocols.

The program is informed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) High Fire Threat Map. 

In Nevada and Placer Counties, PG&E designates service areas under Zone 5, indicating elevated wildfire threat levels.

Services include

• Zone-based maps for PG&E service areas
• Identification of areas subject to PSPS due to wildfire risk

Additional notes

Maps are updated in coordination with state-level fire safety authorities. Zone designations help residents prepare for outages and understand regional fire risk levels.
