Thank you for looking for burning permit information. The below map is linked to the MN DNR's website and is current as of the date on the map.
This is the same map the fire department uses daily to determine if we can write permits or allow open burning.
Please use extreme caution when burning brush piles, monitoring at ALL times and making sure you have a plan for "if" a hot ember lands behind you and unknowingly starts open area grass on fire. Essentials are a phone to call 911 if needed, rake and or scoop shovel to stomp out short crawling fires, a charged garden hose and friends!
Burning permits for areas that we protect are available at our Station 1 weekdays, or evenings/weekends by request (contact us form). Burning permits are also available over the counter at Urbans Hardware in Isanti.
Did you know...
- Per State fire code, a minimum setback of 25 feet is required for the installation of any fire pit. Please comply to this and monitor ALL outdoor open flame fires at all times.
- In MN, there are 3,200 volunteer Fire Wardens available to issue free of charge burning permits.
- The DNR now offers an online annual burning permit available for a fee of $5.00. The permit must be printed and activated prior to each burn, other pertinent details apply. Click the link below for more information.
