Burning Permits: What You Need to Know

Stay Safe and Compliant with Burning Permits: Burning permits are required for all open air burning larger than 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet from April 1st to October 31st each year.

Small Fire Pits: Fires used for cooking or warmth that are 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet or smaller do not require a permit. Even though a permit isn't needed for these small fires, always ensure they are in a safe location, away from combustible materials, and have a shovel and water nearby to extinguish the fire if necessary.

Open Air Burning Permits: Open Air Burning Permits are valid for 7 days. You can start your permitted fires two hours before sundown and they must be completely out two hours after sunrise. This nighttime burning is allowed because the moisture levels are higher, reducing fire risk, and our volunteer  are more available at night. Daytime burning requires special permission from the Fire Chief.

High Fire Hazard Conditions: During times of high fire hazard, permits may be shortened to 3 or 5 days, and all burning may be banned at the discretion of the Fire Chief. Any issued permits will be revoked if conditions become too dangerous.
