BURN PERMITS

​

You are required by Maine law to have a permit to burn, even for a small pile of grass clippings or leaves.

A Forestry Warden will be called if you burn without a permit, possibly resulting in you being summonsed to court and fined.

​

Traditional hand-written burn permits are still available, but the state online system allows permits to be acquired 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the state, provided that the fire danger is not high. For more information, call 207-287-4989.

 

The person who signs the fire permit is responsible for the fire. Do not leave any fire unattended.
