If a violator challenges the ticket, the Fire Warden will have to appear in court to explain the circumstances involving the ticket being issued. The District Protection Forester can also be present to explain the role of a Town Forest Fire Warden and the process of issuing Permits to Kindle Fire.
Fire wardens who are involved in a situation where they feel a ticket is an eventual next step should contact their Protection Forester to set up an orientation at their earliest convenience. Fire Wardens will be issued a ticket book and user guide following the orientation. Protection Forester Contacts
