The Missouri Department of Natural Resources does not allow burning from April 16 to September 14 of each year. Homeowners needing to burn vegetative waste must contact them for permission to burn.
Recreational fires are allowed, but must be kept small. A reasonable size for a recreational fire is approximately four feet by four feet.
In the event you would like to have a recreational fire, we ask that you have some method to control it.
Please do not hesitate to call us with any questions you may have or to call 9-1-1 if your recreational fire gets away from you.
There is no charge for the fire department responding to your call for help. We would appreciate a call right away before a fire has a chance to gain momentum.
We no longer issue burn permits, however, we do request that you give us a courtesy call at (636) 343-9300 to alert us that you will be burning.
The Fire Marshal shall prohibit open burning that will be offensive or objectionable because of smoke or odor emissions when atmospheric conditions or local circumstances make such fires hazardous. The Fire Marshal is authorized to order the extinguishment by District residents or the fire department of open burning when the wind speed is fifteen (15) miles per hour or higher, when the humidity is 50 percent or lower, or when burning creates or adds to a hazardous or unsafe situation.
