• Ash is hazardous to your health. Watch for ash pits and mark them for safety. Ash pits are holes full of hot ashes, created by burned trees and stumps. Falling into ash pits or landing in them with your hands or feet can cause serious burns. Warn your family and neighbors to keep clear of these pits. Sifting through fire debris is not recommended but if you choose to do so, please use extreme caution and use a face mask, spray debris with a fine mist of water to minimize health impacts from breathing dust particles. Do not use leaf blowers or wash the ash. Contact Solano County Environmental Health at (707)784-6765 about removal.
