— from San Juan County Communications —

The 2018/19 burning season has come to a close. All permits issued this year and last fall are now expired. Commercial and Residential burning is over for the season. Check back to the San Juan County Fire Marshal’s Office for the latest in burning info including Fire Risk and Burn Ban Status.

Campfires remain allowed at this time and do not require permits. Please be very careful with campfires and barbecues. It is very dry outside and although at this time burn risk is LOW it is not expected to remain so for long. 

For those of you with Vacation Rentals we remind you to note burn risk status to your guests so that they too may have a safe and fire-free summer here in San Juan County. 

Any questions please email: firemarshal@sanjuanco.com 

Stay safe and have a great summer!
