The RM of Dauphin wants folks to remember By-Law #3047.
It's to regulate open-air fires. Ernie Sirski, RM of Dauphin reeve, says if you're having a BBQ or having a fire in an approved firepit, you don't need a burn permit.
"In other words, if you want to burn some stubble, straw, windrows, we're going to ask you to apply for a burn permit," said Sirski. "It's not unusual compared to what we had before."
If you don't have an email and need a burn permit, you can still submit paper forms at the RM's office. If you have an email, doing so online is quick and easy.
"As soon as you apply, the permit is valid," ended Sirski. "You don't have to wait as you do in person. It's a direct feed that goes to the RM and the Fire Department."
Fires must always be supervised, controlled, and meet all safety requirements. Bill #3047 ensures safety, protects property, and helps the RM manage fire services efficiently.
