Atascadero announces burn season officially closed 

Weed clearing

It’s time for weed abatement

On Thursday, the Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services closed the 2017 Burn Season.

“Due to the large amount of rain and rapid increase in temperature & windy conditions, it has caused the grasses to dry out quickly, causing an increased fire danger,” said Fire Chief Casey Bryson.

As an alternative, residents are encouraged to utilize the Green Waste Recycling Program through Atascadero Waste Alternatives. Please check with Atascadero Waste Alternatives for your area’s pick-up days.

The Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services also would like residents to get their weed abatement done quickly.

The deadline for cutting your weeds is June 1st. “If a fire should start, having your weeds mowed slows the spread of the fire, giving the fire department additional time to respond before the fire has a chance to spread to adjacent brush or homes,” said Fire Chief Bryson
