Burning Permits

If you are planning on building a campfire for those toasted marshmallows and hot dogs, you must get a permit.  The application fee is $10 and must be filed with the City Clerk a minimum of two workdays in advance of the date requested for burning. Permits are available at the front desk at City Hall. The Fire Chief will inspect the campfire area and issue the permit.

Campfire requirements are as follows:

  1. Use non-treated wood.

  2. Locate the fire a minimum of 15 feet from any occupied dwelling, wood structure, street, alley, property line or any building.

  3. Pit is no larger than 48 inches in diameter with non-combustible ring of at least 12 inches high.
