Prescribed Burn Delayed

The prescribed burn scheduled for tomorrow, January 22nd, will be delayed. The Air Resources Board
declared a no burn status for the area.
The Santa Barbara County Fire Department has issued a burn permit to The Santa Barbara County Range
Improvement Association (RIA) to conduct a prescribed burn of approximately 90 acres.
The burn was scheduled to begin on January 22, 2013 at approximately 9 am. The project is located on
the Bar-M Ranch, approximately 2 miles south of Los Alamos. Members of the RIA will be conducting
the burn.
The Santa Barbara County Fire Department has coordinated and assisted the Range Improvement
Association for many years with these types of projects. These burns offer many training
opportunities to Fire Department personnel and help develop positive working relationships with
members of our communities.
Weather conditions are expected to change later in the week to afford a more favorable weather
pattern to conduct the burn.

Much higher humidity would be nice.

It has very little to do with humidity and a lot to do with current air quality. I've had perfect burn days declared no-burn days due to the current air quality.
