Burn
permits are required
Permits are free of charge and can be
obtained Call your nearest CFPA Office to schedule an on-site inspection. Burning Factors
Time: Depending on the severity of fire season, the time of day in which burning is conducted may be restricted to morning and evening hours. Relative humidity tends to be at it’s highest during these hours allowing for better control. Site Preparation: The steps needed to prepare the burn site are determined by the type of materials that are to be burned and the fuels in the surrounding area. A fire trail must be clear of all flammable debris. Trails must encircle the entire burning area and must meet the approval of the Fire Warden. Fire Suppression Equipment: The permit holder must have a shovel and a supply of water on hand at the burn site. Responsible Adult: It is important to note that a burning permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for the payment of costs for suppression or for damages if the fire escapes control. A capable, responsible adult must be present at all times until the fire is completely out.
