Open Burning Season Starts January 15 and Ends May 1
If you already have an existing valid burn permit, you should have received a confirmation email with a link to update information as needed. You may activate your existing permit to burn on approved days.
A permit must be obtained from the local fire chief. Weather conditions can change rapidly, especially in the spring, and the fire department will determine on a daily basis when it is safe to conduct open burning. If winds kick up or other atmospheric conditions change suddenly, making it unsafe to burn, permits can be rescinded (cancelled).
Step 1: Click here to Read all Burning Regulations.
Step 2: Complete the Burn Permit Application.*
Step 3: Activate your valid Burn Permit when burning on allowed days.
* If you have already filled out a valid application and have read the regulations, proceed to “Step 3” to activate your permit for each day you wish to burn.
Open burning must be done:
- By activating a valid burn permit on the day of burning.
- Between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. from January 15 to May 1.
- At least 75 feet from all buildings.
- As close as possible to the source of material being burned, according to Department of Environmental Protection regulations (310 CMR DEP 7.07).
- When air quality is acceptable for burning. Call the MassDEP Air Quality Hotline at (800) 882-1497 or visit MassAir Online to find out if it is.
People conducting illegal burning, or who allow a fire to get out of control, may be held liable for costs of extinguishing a fire, fined, and even imprisoned (MGL c.48 s.13).
Do not leave your fire burning unattended. This is a reason to revoke your burning permit.
No burning will be allowed on “red flag” days announced on local weather reports.
If you are found in violation of these guidelines, your right to burn will be terminated.

Try using a salt alternative at your home this winter and help avoid the harmful effects that road salt can have on our groundwater supplies, local waterways, and rest of our surrounding environment. @mrwc_ @SalemSoundCoast @ipswichriverorg
Getting slippery out there? We know that road salt can keep our streets safer, but it can have very harmful effects on our surrounding environment. Once washed off of sidewalks and roads, the salt makes its way to nearby rivers, oceans and/or groundwater supplies where it causes a significant change in salinity – interrupting an ecosystem's natural balance. Salty water is much harder for plants to absorb through their root systems and causes great stress on fresh water creatures like fish, amphibians and many invertebrates. A perfect solution has not been determined, but there are many natural alternatives to be explored. You can do your part by using some of these salt alternatives at home!
