Burn Permits and Brush Burning
Need to burn a large brushpile or bonfire? PLAN AHEAD!
Burning debris is the most common cause of wildland fires in Vermont. Outside fires always need a burn permit unless there is snow on the ground.

Smoke Detectors Save Lives
Since 1994, Vermont law requires smoke detectors(alarms)/carbon monoxide detectors be installed in single-family dwellings. Smoke alarms have been required in multi-family and rental dwellings for more than 30 years.
Photoelectric-only type smoke alarms are required to be installed in the vicinity of any bedrooms and on each level of a dwelling. New dwellings must have alarms directly wired to the building electrical service and have a battery backup.
Dwellings that are sold or transferred after January 1, 2009 are required to have photoelectric and carbon monoxide alarms installed and working. The ideal is to have a mix of ion and photoelectric alarms in your home.
Fire Extinguishers
Every dwelling should have fire extinguishers. An A-B-C fire extinguisher puts out most fires. A is ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth; B is flammable liquids, such as gasoline or cooking oil; and C is live electricity. Keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, upstairs hallways, or any place where fire may hinder escape. Don’t forget barns, sheds, and other out-dwellings.
How to choose a fire extinguisher.
Have a Fire Escape Plan in Place
Always have an escape plan for your home. Review and test it with your family. Don’t forget your pets need to get out too.
