Fire Warden’s Annual Report – 2022
This year, there were 62 fire permits issued. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the cooperation they have given me in preventing forest fires. I am very happy with the communication I received from everyone calling in. Those who were issued permits for campfires, called back for an additional permit before doing brush fires. The community supported and respected the laws and procedures asked of them to help prevent forest fires.
Please remember that according to 10 V.S.A. §2645, that no person shall authorize another to kindle a fire in the open air for the purpose of burning brush, weeds, grass, or rubbish except where there is snow on site, without the permission from the Canaan Fire Warden. Also remember that painted or pressure treated wood is not permitted for burning and should be brought to the Transfer Station for disposal. Yard fires are kindled wood only and has a maximum of a 10 foot radius.
The Fire Wardens are now authorized under 10 V.S.A. §2672 to issue Uniform Fire Prevention Tickets to anyone violating this statute and 10 V.S.A. §2648 which refers to Slash Removal.
