Obtaining a permit:

Visit our office at 16126 Pierce Ferry Rd, Dolan Springs AZ 86441 to apply for a burn permit. Administrative office hours are 10 am to 3 pm Monday through Friday.

A non-refundable $5 fee is required. Cash only and exact change, please.

Your property may be subject to an inspection from our fire suppression staff before the permit becomes valid. If it is supplied by city water then this inspection may be waived.

You may also download and fill out the burn permit here. Once finished, visit the Pierce Ferry Road office to submit the permit for approval. The permit must be signed by a member of LMRFD, assigned a number, and submitted into our database by the LMRFD administrator. If the permit is not in our database, any open burning is not legal.
