Burn Permits

Burn permits are required from April 1 - October 31, but always check the fire status before you burn. Fire permits will not be issued during Level 1 or Total Fire Bans.

During wildfire season, open air burning (including campfires) is permitted during the hours from 1 hour before sunset to 1 hour after sunrise. Permits are required for any fire that is over a 2-foot radius. Campfires do not require a burning permit.
