Effective 5 April 2008, all persons wishing to burn
within the District are required to obtain a Burn Permit from the Elk Bend
Fire Protection District, before any burning will be allowed within the
District. This is
for the protection of all property owners within the District borders, and
is to ensure that the District is aware of those persons burning on any
given day. This is so that we
can plan the most efficient use of District equipment and personnel.
This does not replace the required burn permit from the
BLM or U.S. Forest Service; those are still required during the burning
season.
Call 208-756-5157 for
more info.
