Q: Why do I need a permit?
A: Smoke from open burning is an air
pollutant with effects on air quality and
public health (especially for children and
the elderly).
Q: What are some alternatives to outdoor
burning?
A: Chipping and shredding vegetation for
composting. Also household items such
as glass, plastics and paper can be
recycled and should not be burned.
Q: How can I burn more cleanly?
A: Make sure your fuel is as dry as possible, separate the fire from the damp
ground and be sure there is a draft to
keep the fire burning hot.
Q: Are there exceptions?
A: Cultural, traditional and recreational
fires are exempt and do not require a
permit.
