MORE INFO?

When the fire danger is "high", fires can start easily from most causes and small fuels (such as grasses and needles) will ignite readily.  Unattended campfires and brush fires are likely to escape.  Fires will spread easily, with some areas of high-intensity burning on slopes or concentrated fuels.  Fires can become serious and difficult to control unless they are put out while they are still small.

​

At East Side Fire District, Burn Permits are REQUIRED to burn from May 10-October 20th.  They are free of charge and will last 10 days.

​

What is ALWAYS Illegal to Burn?

-Paint, tires, asphalt, plastic, pesticide containers, metals, treated wood, construction debris, garbage in burn barrels, dead animals, demolition, and petroleum products to name a few.
