Outdoor burning rules in Fillmore, CA — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Open burning in Fillmore is regulated by the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (APCD). Debris burning requires APCD authorization; Spare the Air days prohibit all open burning.
Open burning in Fillmore is regulated by Ventura County Fire Department and the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District. Open burning of trash, yard waste, and debris is prohibited. Agricultural burning requires VCAPCD permits and is limited to specific conditions. Recreational fires in approved fire pits are permitted with restrictions. VCAPCD declares no-burn days during poor air quality periods. Fillmore's location in the Santa Clara River Valley with surrounding orchards and brush-covered hills makes fire prevention a critical concern.
Illegal open burning: $50-$500 from VCAPCD. Burning during a declared burn ban: $500-$1,000. Agricultural burning without permit: $250-$1,000. Fire that escapes: criminal charges plus full suppression costs, which can reach tens of thousands of dollars in the wildland-urban interface.
