If you have camp reservations through the BSA and intend to light a campfire or conduct a burn, please fill out the form below and submit directly to the Fire Department.  If you download the form instead, it can be returned to us by fax (510) 232-4917 or email fire@ci.el-cerrito.ca.us. We will email you an executed copy once the Fire Prevention Officer has signed off on the form. Please allow at least one week for processing.
