Instructions to Burn
In order to burn we request that you call in on the Admin lines first and we will let you know if the County Fire Marshal has a “Burn Ban” in effect in which case we’ll let you know if it is ok to burn for that day. Then we ask for your name, address and Phone number and give you instructions prior to burning so that we can let your district fire dept know.
