Good luck getting permits for a proscribed burn in California.

  Is it that hard? Or maybe it varies by area? I see prescribed burns happening all the time where I live in California and also frequently get notifications about them, so that people don't call in the smoke. And I live in an area that is both considered to have the very most extreme environmentalists and the most NIMBY of people you will find anywhere.

  Seems like the fire department would be the one signing off on permits and they would probably be the ones overseeing that same prescribed burn. If you can get permits all over the state to have huge fireworks shows during fire season, I don't see why they couldn't do prescribed burns.

    While the fire department can (might or might not) issue permits, courts are known to stop the burns for years while various parties sue to stop them. All the while things build up worse and worse.
