Fire Danger Level
- Today's fire danger and fire weather can be viewed here or call (866) 643-4737
- Permits will be issued if the weather and conditions are favorable for burning that day. No brush burning permits will be issued on class 3 (high fire danger) days and above. Please try to plan ahead as wardens typically will not come out after 6 pm. As an added convenience, permits can be obtained online at the link above. There is a three dollar charge if you use this option
When Can You Burn?
- 5:00pm to 9:00am (unless raining)
- Permit is still required even if it is raining
What You Can Burn
- Leaves (better to mulch as they really don’t burn that well)
- Brush up to 5 inches in diameter
- Clean building material ( no painted or treated wood)
- Clean paper
Important Law Change: The State Division of Forests and Lands and the State Fire Marshals Office have determined that chimneas and other portable pottery or metal fireplaces constitute open burning and require a campfire permit. Gas and charcoal grills do not require permits, however cooking with charcoal in a dug pit does.
