A quick reminder about burn permits as we enter the burning season. A permit is not required for a fire either 3'x3' or 3' in diameter. A larger fire for burning yard debris or brush does require a permit. These are available online, free of charge,
At maine.gov/burnpermits. Issued permits are valid from the time of issue until 0900 hrs the following morning. At 0900 each morning the Maine Forest Service issues the predicted fire danger for the day. The classes of fire danger are: low, moderate, high, very high, extreme. Permits are issued on days listed as low or moderate. The online system will automatically shutdown when fire danger is high or above.
