Burn Season Closes May 1, 2020

On May 1, 2020, the Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services closed the 2019 burning season.  “Due to the large amount of rain and rapid increase in temperature & windy conditions has caused the grasses to dry out quickly, causing an increased fire danger”, said Fire Chief Casey Bryson. 

As alternatives, the Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services encourages residents to utilize the Green Waste Recycling Program through Atascadero Waste Alternatives.  Please check with Atascadero Waste Alternatives for your area’s pick-up days. 

Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services also wants residents to get their weed abatement done quickly.  The deadline for cutting your weeds is June 1^st.
