Title: Online Fire Permits
Post by: John on March 21, 2013, 06:21:29 am

EDIT New for 2015:

http://www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit/ (http://www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit/)

These are good for the calendar year in all of California. Free is cheaper than the ticket.

Lars-
Glad you saw this.

Those offices are never open when you want to be legit and get a fire permit but they sure don't mind writing a ticket! I get one every year now since it is so easy online.

That's just for SEKI, not Sierra, just it is clear for the uninitiated.

The only fire related alerts for Sierra are these... http://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/sierra/alerts-notices/?aid=28110

Isn't it great to this online!? The ranger stations are never open when I need to get a permit.

Note: I changed the link for the permits, it requires less clicking around now.

I just called the SNF headquarters in Clovis.  No restrictions yet for the SNF, but coming soon.

Thanks for the update. I was just wondering when the restrictions will kick in, it was late June last year.

This weekend is good, but next weekend who knows.   

I like that on-line permit process for fire permits.  I wish they'd have one for wilderness permits.

I must have read that wrong. Thanks for the clarification. Good to hear. I like my evening fires.
