Burning Permit
Is Required
Perquimans County Ranger
Lewis "Luke" Stalling
reminds all residents that the
law requires everyone to obtain
a permit for the burning of
Drusn, trasn, . or any in-
flammable material within 500
feet of any woodland or 100 feet
of an occupied dwelling before 4
p.m. beginning the first day of
October through June. We
usually have some dry weather
during our fall months so it is
important that everyone be
extremely careful and cautious
when burning near the woods.
Luke reminds all residents
that the law requires everyone
to obtain a permit before
starting to burn within 500 feet
of woods. Fines up to $50 are
provided for failure to obtain
these permits. It is much safer
to burn in the late afternoon.
The Winfall Fire Tower will
be manned and a smokechaser
will be put on the 16th of this
month. Any, smokes the
towerman sees will be checked
out by the County Ranger or
smokechaser, so please get
your permit. -
In case of a fire, call the Fire
Tower (426-5551) during the day
after the 16th. At night, call 297
