Burn Permits

Debris Burn Tips

Open burning seasons in spring and fall are a great time to clear vegetation and reduce wildfire risk. But careless debris burning is the #1 cause of wildfires on the Flathead Reservation. Whether burning during open season or with a required permit, always take precautions to keep your fire safe and controlled.

🔥 Before You Burn:

Check the burn schedule and permit requirements.
Burn early in the day and avoid hot or windy weather.
Clear 10 feet around your pile and keep piles small.
Have water, tools, and enough people on site.
Never leave your fire—make sure it’s cold to the touch before leaving, and re-check the next day.

⚠️ If your fire escapes, call 911 immediately. You are responsible for all suppression and property costs.
