This permit is required between Octpber 1 and June 1 inclusive and there is no charge for it. A burning permit "is not required if burning within 100 feet of an occupied dwelling and a permit is not required if burning between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight. However, burn ing permit . does not re lieve you of complying to local Health Department and Board of Air and Water Resource standards. . The burning permit law is not intended to be an , inconvenience to tne public but merely a fire prevention tool. The benefits are (1) the Forest Service will know where burning is taking place and when, (2) what type and how much burning activity, ; , (3) if precautionary actions are being taken, and (4) how to ; get in touch with permittee in the event of hazardous fire weather if burning is cancelled. The burning permit is one of many indicators a Forest Ranger must use , in v. V ft? . I organization by their . at tendance. "We deal with crime after it happens", Walker . told some 200 people from the Albemarle Area. "We need to get to the source of it."
