Debris Burns and Warming Fires

Debris Burn Fires

These fires are used to dispose of pine needles, leaves, and other debris on lots.  These fires are highly regulated and may only be conducted during certain times of the year and require a Burn Permit.

Warming fires

These fires are primarily for entertainment purposes. Property owners may only burn dry wood in this type of fire; no pine needles, leaves or other tree slash is to be burned.
