The area Fire Chiefs would like to remind everyone to check with their local fire service to determine the local open air burning requirements. In most cases a permit is required. Burning without a permit is subject to a fine or penalty.

Strictly follow the Open Air Burning Guidelines for your municipality, and be mindful of changing weather conditions as a means of preventing nearby exposure fires which could threaten life, property, and the environment.
