Rescinded – DNR Fire Protection Burn Permit Requirement

Due to the recent substantial rainfall and favorable forecast the DNR Fire Protection Section has rescinded the burning permit requirement order in the 13 counties in DNR fire protection.  This includes Portage County.  The order/special fire notice will be rescinded in Extensive Fire Protection Areas effective 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, November 9, 2024. 

What this means is that Burning Permits are returning to normal restrictions where landowners are allowed to burn clean, untreated wood, clean non-recyclable paper products and vegetation without a permit.

Burning permit will be required as usual only from January 1 to June 1 when the ground is not 100% snow covered.

Attached is the DNR press release.
