OPEN BURNING - PERMITS:

Except as otherwise provide in this section (Title 10 V.S.A. Chapter 83: 2645) a person shall not kindle or authorize another to kindle a fire in the open air for the purpose of burning weeds, grass, or rubbish of any kind except where there is snow on the site, without first obtaining permission from the fire warden or deputy warden of the town, stating when and where such fire may be kindled. Whenever such permission is granted, such warden, within 12 hours, shall issue a written permit for the record purposes stating when and where such fire may be kindled. During periods of extreme fire hazard, the Commissioner of Forest and Parks may notify town fire wardens that for a specified period not burning permits shall be issued. The wardens shall issue no permits during the specified period. 

Fires kindled for the purpose of burning brush or for other lawful purpose shall be kindled only at such times and under such conditions as will enable the parties starting them to keep them entirely under control and not creating a public nuisance or hazard. Fires must be attended at all times.
