MORE INFO?

When the fire danger is "low" it means that fuels do not ignite easily from small embers, but a more intense heat source, such as lightning, may start fires in duff or dry rotten wood.  Fires in open, dry grasslands may burn easily a few hours after a rain, but most wood fires will spread slowly, creeping or smoldering. Control of fires is generally easy. 

 

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.
