To the Citizens of Landaff,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Michael Ball and I am your new Fire Warden for the Town of Landaff.

Fire Wardens are a representative of the State Forester who issues fire permits, and who enforces forest fire laws. You can either obtain a permit through me or online at the NH Division of Forests and Lands site https://nhdflweb.sovsportsnet.net. There is a fee to obtain one online, but not one in person.

A few things to remember:

Category 1 fires are small controlled fires, such as camp or cooking fire, no greater than 2′ in diameter contained within a ring and may be kindled with a permit at anytime of the day whether raining or not. Permit may be seasonal.

Category 2 fires are small controlled fires, such as camp or cooking fire, no greater than 4′ in diameter contained within a ring and may be kindled with a permit between 5pm and 9am unless it is actively raining. Permit may be seasonal.

Category 3 means any other fire, not a category 1 or 2, or a fire greater than 4’ in diameter or a fire not contained within a ring of resistive material. A category 3 fire, conditions permitting, may only be kindled with a permit between 5pm and 9am unless actively raining. Permit maybe issued for up to 7 consecutive days

This is not all the laws or rules to having a fire outside, but merely a synopsis of the times, sizes, and contact information. Please reach out and ask if you are unsure.
