Fire / Burn Permit
Burn permits are issued with a Clearing Index of 500 or greater and with wind below 10 mph. Please remember that burn permits are for the burning of yard waste and weeds. Yard waste and weeds are to be piled up and burned. Not for lumber, pallets, or trash.
The Clearing Index is defined as the Mixing Depth (depth of the mixed layer in 100s of feet above ground level) multiplied by the Transport Wind (average wind in the mixed layer in knots). Clearing Index values below 500 are considered poor ventilation and open burning is restricted under these conditions.
