UPDATED:

A standing suspension on burn permits in San Diego County will be lifted at 7 a.m. Monday, Cal Fire officials announced Sunday.

Cooler temperatures, higher humidity and recent rainfall have lowered the risk of wildfires, according to a news release from county Fire Chief Tony Mecham.

Cal Fire permits are required for all residential and agricultural burns. A Cal Fire inspection is required before any agricultural burn is conducted and may be required for residential burns.

Permit holders can burn debris or agricultural waste from 8 a.m. to dusk on permissible burn days. Permissible days are designated by Cal Fire based on a number of factors including humidity and air quality.

Anyone intending to burn material must first their local Cal Fire office to confirm that it is a permissible day and record their intentions, Cal Fire said in a statement.

Safely burning dry leaves and brush is an important part of protection against wildfires. More information is available from Cal Fire at www.burnpermit.fire.ca.gov.
