Some important information and prevention resources to help keep you and your family safe.
Burn Permits
The Fire District does not issue burn permits. Burn Permits can be obtained by contacting the Alabama Forestry Commission at 1-800-942-3107. There are fines for illegal burning. State Law requires property owners to control fires on their property. The Fire District can assess a fee for fire fighting operations that are caused by illegal burning.
Be advised Lawrence County has a standing NO BURN ORDER issued by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. This order is in place from May – October. There are serious fines for burning during this time. If you have any questions, please contact ADEM at 1-888-271-7879.
