Please read the City’s burning ordinance before lighting any chimnea or fire pits. Failure to understand the City’s burn ordinance does not preclude issuance of a ticket.
If you do not receive a return phone call within 24 hours, it may be because you do not live within our fire jurisdiction. Click HERE to view a map of our fire jurisdiction. We only issue permits for City residents and the portion of Nelson Township that we service for fire protection.
