Question of the Week: Winter Burning Permits
By: Linda Gormanson, Minnesota DNR - 02/05/2016
Q: Do I still need an open burning permit for my brush pile even though it is winter?
A: The snow and cold of a Minnesota winter generally make this time of the year a better and safer time to burn brush piles. However, when there is less than 3 inches of snow cover, open burning permits are required by law. Also, many communities require a
burning permit no matter the time of year. Contact a local fire chief to see if a permit is required. Composting and mulching is an alternative to burning and a better way to prevent a potential wildfire.
Contact a local DNR Forestry office to find out if a permit is required before burning any brush pile. For more information about burning permits, visit the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov/forestry/fire/questions.html.
