2. Can I burn my pile of slash?

In most cases you can burn slash piles but permits are required from the local fire authority and from the county Environmental Health department. For very large piles, the state health department will need to permit burning. Contact your local fire department to determine what kind of permit you may need.

3. Can I have a campfire in my backyard?

Recreational fires do not require a burn permit so long as they are kept under control and small. It is recommended to contact county dispatch (911) to notify them of your plans prior to burning.
