Closed Fire Season Begins Sunday!
According to the Idaho Department of Lands and BLM Idaho: Burn permits are required starting May 10 thru October 20. This annual requirement helps prevent unwanted human caused fires by limiting the burn types available for permits based on weather conditions, available firefighting resources, and the number and kinds of fire starts fire managers are seeing across the region.
Free permits are available 24/7 at www.burnpermits.idaho.gov
Even outside of Idaho’s burn permit season (May 10-October 20), local fire restrictions may still apply depending on where you live. Counties and fire districts can have tighter rules - and it’s your responsibility to know them.
- Before you light, check with your local fire officials
- Make sure you’re following the rules for your area
Don’t risk a preventable wildfire.
Do your part, prevent a wildfire start.
