What You Need To Know

When you request a fire permit you will need to know the following:

What are you going to burn? Material must be clean ordinary combustibles. Brush cannot exceed 5 inches in diameter.	How much help will you have during the burn? Your fire must be attended at all times, or completely extinguished.
Where are you going to burn? How far from the nearest structure, trees and dead vegetation or overhead phone or power lines? Fires must be no closer than 50 feet from a structure, or 25 feet if in an approved incinerator.	Do you own the land where you plan to burn? If not, do you have written permission from the landowner?
When do you want to burn? Date, time of day (permit needed even when raining).	Will you be able to extinguish your fire if someone complains? Air pollution officials could require a fire be put out if there are smoke complaints.
What do you have for fire protection? A hose, shovel or rake, and a bucket of water should be available at the fire. You are liable for the costs of extinguishing escaped fires.	Are there any tires or tubes in the material to be burned? Tires, tubes, plastics, shingles, and foam rubber are just some of the prohibited materials.
