The Branciforte Fire Protection District

BURN SEASON POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE Cal Fire has announced that burn season, which historically has started on December 1st, is postponed indefinitely due to fire danger and lack of precipitation. No backyard burns will be allowed in the District until further notice.

Branciforte Fire Protection District is proud to wear our 'pink' edition t-shirts in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We wear these shirts in honor of all those who have been impacted by breast cancer. #breastcancerawareness
