Special fire restrictions
There are no special fire restrictions in place right now.
General conditions
You are legally required to hold a valid burn permit to light an open fire between April 1 and September 30. This includes:
- lighting an open fire for any purpose other than a campfire, which does not require a permit
- burning grass, debris or brush in a burn barrel
- burning on all public and private lands
Be careful when using fire; a wildfire can still catch and spread quickly. Do not build campfires larger than needed, and ensure all fires are completely out before leaving them.
