The Tehama Glenn Unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and the Tehama County Fire Department (TCFD) want to remind everyone that burn permits will be required starting Friday April 15, 2022 in the unincorporated areas of Tehama County, except in the Capay Fire District, and will be required until the burn suspension goes into effect. In addition, burn permits are required within the State Responsibility Areas (SRA) of Tehama and Glenn Counties.

This year’s burn suspension may go into effect sooner than usual. This is due to abnormally dry fuel conditions throughout Tehama and Glenn Counties. For this reason, CAL FIRE/TCFD encourages residents to burn as soon as possible. Residents should check with their local fire officials for burning restrictions within the Corning city limits, Capay Fire District, or if they live in portions of Glenn County that are not in the SRA. All residential burning has been banned within the city limits of Red Bluff. Residents who plan on conducting dooryard burning should plan accordingly and have dooryard burning completed before the burn suspension goes in to affect.

Burn permits must now be obtained online at burnpermit.fire.ca.gov/.
