What and how am I allowed to burn?
An Open Burning Permit to burn brush may be obtained at no charge from the Fire Marshal. The permit must be available onsite during the time the burning is underway. Verbal permits are not valid.
Burning is allowed when all of the following requirements are met:
- Burning must take place on the property of the permitted person's residence (not a residence under construction or clearing for construction).
- "Brush" meaning shrubs, vegetation or prunings not larger that 3" in diameter may be burned.
- Compliance with all written requirements of the permit is practiced.
Cooking fires and campfires do not require a burning permit.
Burning garbage, paper, leaves, metals, plastics, rubber, or demolition waster is not permitted.
