If you intend to burn you must contact the Burn Official, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on the day prior to burning to ensure he has time to inspect the site before he issues a permit.
In accordance with Section 22a-174(f) of the Connecticut General Statutes, all residents in the Town of Eastford must contact the Town Burn Official before burning of any kind to secure a “permit to burn”. Please be advised that it is illegal to burn brush without a permit.
Unpermitted burns will be extinguished when reported. Burning of anything other than brush less than 3 inches in diameter is prohibited. If a resident is reported to be burning brush without a permit or anything other than brush, the Burn Official will give a verbal warning. The fire will be extinguished.
A second time, the Fire Marshall and Burn Official will file a second report at the same residence. The fire will be extinguished.
A third and final warning will involve the State Police and Burn Official. The fire will be extinguished and a fine levied for an illegal burn.
