Carson City open burning starts Friday

The Carson City Fire Department will allow open burning from Friday to April 12.

The purpose of the open burn period is to provide residents an opportunity to dispose of accumulated weeds and yard debris. In order to make this a safe endeavor for those involved, the Carson City Fire Department will require a burn permit with a valid permit number before burning will be allowed. Permits must be obtained no less than 24 hours prior to conducting an open burn.

Permits are being issued Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a walk-in basis at the Carson City Fire Department Headquarters at 777 S. Stewart St., and online at www.carson.org under the Fire Department, Open Burning page.

All permits must have a valid permit number in order to conduct an open burn. For more information, call 887-2210, ext. 2, 8-5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
