Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services would like to announce the Fire Hazard Reduction Burn Season will close Monday, May 6, 2024, for Atascadero residents.  Just a reminder that the burn day status, whether it is a permissive burn day or not, changes daily and is determined by the California Air Resources Board and north county weather conditions. Burning is never allowed within 5 days of measurable rain.

Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services strongly encourages residents to utilize alternative forms of disposal, such as the Waste Alternatives’ Green Waste recycling container or the Chicago Grade Landfill.  Burning should be used as a last resort.
