The Shasta County Department of Weights and Measures investigates complaints about firewood quantity.
- Firewood must be sold in quantities measured in cords unless the quantity is 1/8 cord or smaller; in which case it can be sold by the square foot.
- The amount of wood sold must match the advertised price.
- Firewood deliveries must include a receipt that contains the date of sale, the volume of wood sold, the purchase price, and the dealer's name address.
