Burning Permits

From January 1st - May 31st burning permits are required for all outside burningif the ground is not snow covered. Burn barrel permits are a separate permit and are renewed annually. All burning permits are free and are available from the town office, 9046 State Road 19, 608-767-4152 or our local fire warden, Mike Diebold, 4972 Brewery Road; 608-798-3000 or Town Chair, Anthony Varda, 9332 Spring Valley Road, Mazomanie, 608-798-9999. New in 2011 burning permits may be acquired by dialing 1-888-947-2876 from 7 am to 10 pm daily and a customer service representative will issue a no cost DNR burn permit over the phone. The written permit will then be mailed to your doorstep or instantly emailed.

It is safest to burn when the humidity and wind speeds are down, and when the ground is snow covered. Hours when burning is allowed is from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. If your brush pile has the potential to produce a large quantity of smoke, it's best to let your Sheriff Department and Fire Department know. This cuts down on unnecessary fire department and DNR fire response calls.
