What can a Fire Warden do about a neighbor that always complains about smoke from a legal burn?
Verify the burner is not violating any conditions of the permit. Encourage burner to monitor wind conditions that could bring smoke onto neighbor's property. Fire Wardens may add special conditions to the permit to reduce smoke issues for the neighbor. Neighbor disputes can be difficult. Try to remain impartial and consistent. Involving the Town Health Officer may be helpful.
Can a Fire Warden put a burn ban on in town?
Yes. By not issuing burn permits when weather conditions are not favorable, the Town Forest Fire Warden has put a 'burn ban' into effect for their town. This is only for fires requiring a Permit to Kindle Fire.
Where can I get a map or information showing where ANR-owned properties are in my town?
ANR land boundaries can be found on the Vermont ANR Atlas or contact District Wildland Fire Specialist to help you make maps of your area.
