BURN PERMITS
OUTDOOR BURNING in Missoula County
MCFPA
members want to prevent unwanted fire
and its more destructive effects. One way to do this is to regulate the use of fire through
a burn permit system. Local
fire officials, cooperating with the Missoula City-County Health Department, have been issuing burning
permits since the 1990s. The result has been a reduction in the number of fire escapes and 911 calls leading to non-critical dispatch.
In 2012, MCFPA members began implementing an
ONLINE BURN PERMIT system. This new approach helps with permitting, reporting, and tracking
these wanted outdoor burns. The online system is particularly useful in rural areas where local fire service depends on volunteers.
SO become a partner with the MCFPA.
Use fire wisely and with a permit when outdoors. Learn how to prepare for wildland fire,
