Obtaining Burn Permits

How to Obtain Your Permit

Do you have questions about whether you can burn that crispy, old Christmas tree? Or maybe whether your piles of raked leaves can be set ablaze?

The NC Forest Service website allows you to fill out and print off burn permits electronically. You can access this website by clicking on the NC Forest Service patch, located on this page or by clicking the link below.

NC Forest Service – Burn Permits

Please be aware that the Department’s primary mission is to respond to emergency calls. For that reason, there may be times when our whole team is on an emergency call and not at the station to greet you. The duration of time that our Fire Department personnel are gone varies significantly depending on the circumstance, so please make note of this when you visit.
