Information around COVID-19 pandemic is changing rapidly. Stay up to date on Maine’s COVID-19 Response.

Burn Permits

  • Burn permits are still required for burning brush. To minimize contact with Town Fire Wardens, please obtain your burn permit electronically from www.maineburnpermit.com. Keep in mind that if your brush pile escapes, you are putting first responders at risk and taking them away from COVID-19 duties.
