Burn Permits

Is it January? Really? 60 Degree temperatures make me wonder?!

With our unseasonably high temperatures, humidity is decreasing. Even though there is snow on the ground, a wild land fire can quickly burn into the crowns of winter-dead trees when the humidity is low.

The SPVFD is currently issuing burn permits on a day-by-day basis. Each morning the weather is checked, and the determination whether or not to issue burn permits is based on the forecasted temperature, humidity, and wind speed. We will likely not be issuing three day permits in the near future.

If you need a burn permit and do not have a current list of people to call, you may call the station at 941-4107 or email SpanishPeaksBase@hotmail.com.
