Residential Fire
In Progress

Location: 421 W Belford Road Imperial, CA 92251
Category: Air
Description:
On December 29, 2015 around 12:45 pm I was driving on Highway 86 passing the Arco Gas station and I noticed there was a resident burning brush (twigs and branches) close by Frank Wright Middle School . It concerned me if it was even legal for this individual to be doing this. Especially so close by to a residential area. I am concerned that such incident will encourage other residents to do the same to rid themselves of trash and branches instead of disposing materials in their appropriate green waste containers. Admin: DTSC Imperial CUPA has forwarded this complaint to the APCD. Result: APCD responded that as long as the area is outside city limits, burning is permitted unless it causes a nuisance to others (burning near a school is allowed if it during a time when students are not at school AKA weekends or breaks). This location is under the area code for the city of Imperial but outside the city limits, so this burning vegetation/branches is allowed.
