A burn permit is required for any open burn conducted in the Cordelia Fire Protection District. Burn permits are only issued when CAL FIRE will allow burning in Solano County. 

Cordelia Fire Protection District is no longer issuing burn permits. Fairfield Fire Department will be taking over the permit process for property owners within the Cordelia Fire District. For more information contact Fairfield Fire at 707-428-7375 or check the website at https://www.fairfield.ca.gov/government/city-departments/fire/cordelia-fire.

When CAL FIRE determines that burning is allowed in Solano County, you may be able to obtain a burn permit directly from  CAL FIRE if your property is in the SRA (State Responsibility Area). To determine if your property is in the SRA, check the State Responsibility Area viewer link from the CAL FIRE website.

Before requesting a burn permit from Fairfield Fire Department or CAL FIRE, first visit Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to complete appropriate forms and pay the BAAQMD fees.

Please note the following prior to conducting an open burn:

      ***Failure to meet the following requirements may result in fines being levied.

• Before burning, confirm that it is a permissible burn day.
  Call BAAQMD at 1-800-435-7247 to determine burn status for the day.
• Contact Solano Dispatch at 1-707-421-7090 and Fairfield Police & Fire Dispatch at 1-707-428-7301 prior to your burn day to notify them of the planned burn date and address where you will be burning.
• Burn hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Make sure the burn will be completed prior to 3 p.m.
• Do not plan to burn on a windy day.
• Make sure to have a water source/garden hose nearby.
• Make sure the fire will be attended at all times by at least one prudent and responsible person. The individual responsible for attending to the fire must be listed on the burn permit.
• Confine the burn area within cleared firebreaks or barriers adequate to prevent fire from escaping control.
