How to Obtain a Burn Permit

Outdoor burning permits are required any time there is no snow on the ground. Only certain materials can be burned. Household refuse and garbage are never allowed.

A permit can be secured from Peacham’s Forest Fire Warden Aaron Morton (802-684-1174) or from Deputy Fire Warden Jeff Berwick.

Please note:
Burn permits require 24 hours notice.
Burn permits will not be issued until you have had a conversation with the Fire Warden. You may contact him by phone to begin the process.
