SERIES: 25658
TITLE: Burning permits
DATES: 1940-
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by county, thereunder chronological by year.

DESCRIPTION: The Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands issues burning permits as governed by statute (UCA 65A-8-9). State law specifies that June 1 through October 31 annually is closed fire season throughout the state. During the closed season it is unlawful to set on fire any inflammable material on any forest, brush, range, grass, grain, stubble or hay land without first securing a written permit from the Division and complying fully with the terms and condition prescribed in the permit. Burning permits help to monitor the use of fire on wild land areas. They serve as legal documents assuring that the permittee is responsible for control of fire and any financial obligations resulting from uncontrolled fire. Burning permits are issued in triplicate. One copy goes to the landowner, one copy stays in the area office, and one copy is forwarded to the Salt Lake City Office. This series consists of copies of burning permits issued by Division employees and designated deputies.
