Obtaining Permits

Campfire and brush permits can be obtained at the Central Fire Station on North Main Street or the Weirs Beach Fire Station on Lucerne Avenue.  

Mechanical permits are available online and can be processed Monday through Friday during business hours at Central Station.


Brush & Campfire Permits

Permits to kindle a campfire or burn brush are now required for the 2017 season.  For rules and regulations regarding burning in New Hampshire please reference the guidelines from the Department of Resources and Development.  The resources will assist you in planning that perfect fire pit to enjoy this summer.

Permits are issued when staff are available at both Central station and the Weirs Beach fire station.  Permits are only issued to property owners 18 years and older, and approved renters with written permission from the property owner.

Please burn responsibly and check on today’s Fire Danger.
