I understand and agree to comply with all local regulations regarding controlled burns.
I acknowledge that I am responsible for any damages or injuries if the burn becomes out of control.
The fire must be attended to at all times, with sufficient means on hand to control the burning, until the fire has completely burned out. Burned brush, logs, and other solid materials must be covered with earth or thoroughly saturated with water before the attendant leaves the site. An area sufficient to prevent the spread of fire beyond the burning site must be cleared before burning.
There will be no burning when wind conditions exceed 15 miles per hour or during any other conditions which may exist to cause a hazardous situation.
An authorized Fire Department personnel or any Law Enforcement Officer can conduct an on-site inspection and may terminate this permit at any time.
When a local ban on burning is put into effect by the Fire Chief, the permit will automatically be voided until such a ban is removed.
Absolutely no burning of rubber, creosote, shingles, tar paper, garbage, treated lumber or other items that may be harmful to the environment or cause noxious odors and smoke is allowed or authorized by this permit.
Any open burning conducted without a valid permit can be subject to possible legal action.
This permit is not valid until you receive an email with an approved response from the fire department giving you approval to burn. A digital or paper copy is required at the burn location during the burning period. The burn must be out and covered by the end date of the application you submitted. Do you understand?
