County notes burn-permit requirement and possible charges for unpermitted fires
Summary
The board heard from the Circle Fire Chief that burn permits are required in McCone County and may need annual renewal; county staff said people may be charged for fire response if a burn permit was not in place when a fire started.
The board recorded a report from the fire chief and related personnel outlining county burn-permit requirements and potential billing for unpermitted responses.
An item read into the record stated, "Roger Sherra, Circle Fire Chief, met with the board to discuss recent fires and fire department issues. Burn permits are required for any fires in McCone County. The permits must be renewed each year. People may be charged for fire response if there's no burn permit before a fire has started." The board did not enact a new ordinance at the meeting; the item served as a reminder of existing permit requirements and potential billing practices.
Commissioners asked staff to ensure public awareness of the permit requirement and renewal schedule.
