Burn Ban Lifted

Burn Ban Lifted May 10th

The Agency of Natural Resources has forecast an improvement in the fire danger from "Very High" to "High." With this change I have lifted the burn ban in St. Johnsbury.

 

As a reminder, anyone who wishes to burn must first obtain a permit from the fire department by calling (802) 748-8925. Those burning must have a water hose that is long enough to reach around the fire and must produce an adequate flow of water to control the fire. A responsible individual must remain with the fire until it is completely extinguished. If you think a fire becomes out of control, Dial 911 Immediately. 

 

The only permissible material to burn is natural wood and vegetation. Clean boards that have no paint or stain are permitted. Plywood, painted, stained, treated, pressboard and non-natural wood products are prohibited from being burned. Newspaper, cardboard and other household items are considered solid waste and are not permitted to be burned. 

 

Please burn safely and responsibly.
