(Rule R307-202-4) Prohibits open burning at sites used for disposal of community trash, garbage and
other wastes.

Utah State Law 65A-8-211 requires a permit issued by the State Forester or
delegate for all open burning from June 1st to October 31st. During this time
period many things are considered before a permit will be issued including but
not limited to; current fire restrictions, weather, drought condition, fuel
moisture, available fire response resources and whether or not the burning
operation is time sensitive. There are specific exemptions that do apply. For
more information or with help applying for a permit call County Fire Warden,
Jeramy Jorgensen 435-630-4789.

Permit requests will be processed Monday-Thursday during normal business
hours and may require an onsite inspection. Pre-planning is required if the
burn is intended to take place Friday-Sunday or holidays, no exceptions.

 No permit will be issued when:
o The Local Fire Weather Forecasts indicate any single event or combination of winds greater
than 15 mph
o Temperature greater than 90 degrees or relative humidity less than 10%
o Fire Weather Watch or Red Flag Warning has been issued for the day of the burning
o The Clearing Index is below 500ft on the day of the burning
o When a Fire Restriction Order issued by the State Forester is in place
o Large fire(s) are occurring in the geographical area

Variances for time sensitive agricultural operation will be considered.
Once the permit is submitted, it will be reviewed and approved or denied in
the most timely manner possible.
