It’s that season again. Permits are now required for any open burning larger than a campfire. Permits are free and are available by calling the Fire Department at 250.335.2611. On Wednesdays and Saturdays we will come by to have a look at your burn setup and write the permit.
The permit process is to ensure that anyone who is planning on doing a burn has taken all the appropriate precautions. To hasten the permit process please make sure that your fire is:
- not under power lines
- not under tree branches
- a safe distance from any buildings
- on mineral soil, not organic soil
- not containing any plastic, rubber, or petroleum products
