As of November 1, fire permits are no longer required, but Big Lakes County encourages residents to burn responsibly.
With warmer weather and minimal snow on the ground, please use extra caution when burning brush piles. Waiting for snow cover and paying attention to wind conditions can help ensure safer burning and lower the risk of fires spreading.
Notifying others of planned burns can also prevent unnecessary Fire Services dispatches, keeping them available for emergencies.
Thank you for burning safely!
