The Carson City Fire Department has announced the start of the Fall 2025 Open Burn season, with burning allowed from Nov. 15, 2025, to Dec. 21, 2025, dependent upon permit status and daily weather conditions. To make this a safe endeavor for those involved, CCFD will require a burn permit.

Permits can be obtained online at the Carson City Fire Department website, www.carsonfire.org. Click on the notice for Open Burn; it will take you to a form you need to print and have on your person when burning.

Permits will no longer be available in our administrative office on a walk-in basis. The purpose of the open burn period is to provide residents with an opportunity to dispose of accumulated weeds and yard debris.

For additional questions or concerns, please call CCFD at (775) 887-2210, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
