Summary

Evidence and limits

Sources

  1. Says permits are required when the ground is not snow-covered for brush, grass, and debris burning; gives covered metal-barrel requirements, a four-day maximum, local Fire Officer discretion and cancellation authority, prohibited fuels, and fire-reporting telephone numbers. It is a published local notice, not the complete ordinance, permit register, or current legal standard. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
