Burn Season

Burn Season starts on March 1st and extends until May 30th, providing residents with a specific time frame to conduct controlled burns safely and responsibly; a permit is required for all burn activities during this period. This designated time frame ensures that weather conditions are typically more conducive to controlled burning, reducing the risk of fires spreading uncontrollably. Adhering to this schedule is crucial to mitigate potential hazards associated with burning, such as dry conditions and high winds, which can escalate the likelihood of fires getting out of control. By limiting burning to this period, authorities can better monitor and manage fire activity, ultimately minimizing the threat to both property and lives.
