Fire permits
Apply for a fire permit.
A fire permit is how the department knows about a burn before it happens, and how you keep it legal and on record. Required for open burning in the County of Warner under Fire Bylaw 983-22. You fill out the application, and one of the two Fire Guardians reviews it. You hear back by email, usually the same day.
When you need one
You need a permit for outdoor, structure, and incinerator burning in the fire district. A few small exceptions apply, like a contained cooking or warming fire, but if you are clearing brush, burning a pile, or running a burn barrel, get the permit.
Outdoor fires
Brush piles, deadfall, stubble, and windrows out on the land.
Structure fires
A planned, controlled burn of a building or structure.
Incinerators
Burn barrels and incinerator units.
Start your application
The full application walks through your details, the burn location, what is being burned, and the safety basics. It checks for an active fire ban before it accepts anything, so you are never left waiting on a burn that would be refused on its face.
Open the permit applicationPending before this goes live: the two Fire Guardian names and contact emails, who declares the Town of Milk River ban, and SPF/DKIM for permits@milkriverfd.ca. The form here is the working prototype; the production form posts to the service.
