Complete Phone Message Transcript

Thank you for calling the Calaveras County burn information line. This message is for Monday and Tuesday. November 9th and November 10th are burn days. Cal Fire burn permits are required and are available online at burnpermit.fire.ca.gov. Air District burn permits are also required for residential parcels of five acres or more and all businesses. Air District burn permits are $12 and may be purchased online at govpaynow.com. Enter 9091 in the pay location code box. Permits can also be issued at our office or by mail. Clean, dry yard waste that is generated on site may be burned. Burning in a burn barrel, burning on a no burn day, and burning non-permissible materials are violations of Air District rules. Please consider alternatives to burning such as chipping, recycling, or composting.

How This Site Works

This website shows the official Calaveras County burn information line online, using data from The Grid, a free public data service for the central Sierra run by S.I.E.R.R.A. Here's how it works:

1

Daily Phone Call

Every morning, The Grid calls the official burn line at (209) 754-6600 and records the latest message.

2

Transcription & AI Analysis

The recording is transcribed and analyzed by AI to extract the air district's call (burn day, no-burn day, or restricted by elevation) with a confidence score. If the line can't be read, the status is marked unknown rather than guessed.

3

Two Authorities

The Grid combines the air district's burn day with CAL FIRE's burn permit status. Burning is only allowed when both say yes.

4

Website Update

This site is rebuilt from The Grid every morning, and your browser checks The Grid again for the latest status each time you load the page.
