Gallatin County Now Allowing Open Burning
Fire districts in Gallatin County are once again allowing open burning. Fire officials agree it is an appropriate step to re-open controlled burning, given the recent rain, cooler weather, and shorter days. The controlled burning season ends November 30. Activate a burn permit here.
Residents are asked to continue to take precautions to ensure a controlled burn does not escape. If you are burning, fire officials would like to remind you:
- Don't burn on dry or windy days
- Place debris in a cleared area away from overhead branches and wires
- Have a reliable water source nearby
- Be sure to stay with your fire until it is out
Permits can be activated at burnpermit.mt.gov.
