Burn Permits: How do I get one? When do I need one? 
 

When should I call for a permit?

Plan ahead, the Greenland fire department is staffed entirely by volunteers.  Contact the Fire Warden or one of the Deputy Fire Wardens, to request a burn permit at least 24-hours prior to the start of your burn.  Burn permits requested with less than 24-hours notice may not be issued.  Before starting a brush fire you must have a signed burn permit in hand.
