Sonoma County fire practitioners have created a very helpful “Burn Pile Guide” in which you can find links to permits, important phone numbers to call on the day of the burn, and a comprehensive list of best practices for building effective piles, weather markers to watch, and tips for extinguishing piles in dry weather. The guide is meant for small landowners and amateur practitioners.
