— from San Juan County Communications —

All permits issued for burning commercial or residential burns are expiring as the burn season has come to a close. Campfires, burning charcoal or firewood, remain allowed in contained campfire bowls, stoves, or rings remain allowed in sizes up to 3 foot in diameter. 

Please check burning rules frequently for burn risk notifications and burn ban status as the summer months have hotter drier conditions. 

Stay safe out there.
