When do I need a burning permit?
Permits for burning are required during the Idaho Closed Burning Season which is from May 10 through October 20. Outside of that time, as long as there is not a Burn Ban in effect, no permit is needed. Please note that the State of Idaho sometimes does extend the permit season beyond those dates, so this can change from time to time.
Where can I get a permit?
Permits for hand stacked yard waste may be obtained at the fire station. All other types of permits (slash, machine stacked slash etc.) need to be obtained from the Idaho Department of Lands, 3258 West Industrial Loop, Coeur d'Alene.
What if no one is at the fire station to issue a permit?
Please fill out the form in the white box/cabinet at the front of the fire station. Fill out two copies, one to take with you and one to leave in the box.
What does a permit cost?
Permits in the Hauser Lake Fire District are issued at no cost.
Will the fire department still come out if I am burning with a permit?
Even if you have a permit the fire department may still respond if called. If there is a complaint due to smoke from your fire we may have to extinguish the fire even if you have a permit.
When is burning banned?
When weather conditions dictate burning may be banned, which means no open flames of any kind. Watch for Burn Ban signs as you drive into the area for a ban notice.
Are there any other restrictions?
