A burn permit is not required for a commercially purchased burn pit with screen, chimenea, or outdoor fireplace. Handmade fire pits or fire rings are allowed in sizes under 3’ X 3’ X 3’ size. Trash, grass clippings, piles of leaves, in-ground stumps, or any non-vegetative material or building materials are not allowed.
Social events such as Bon Fires are on a case-by-case basis and must be inspected and approved by the Fire Prevention office.
All open burning sites must have an approved Burn Permit.
