Burning Permits
Please be advised that state statues and local codes require that an individual must have a burn permit in hand before he/she can begin the burn. Burn permits may be obtained by contacting Lonnie Taylor at 402.366.2530 or Jeff Neiman at 402.366.2518. Obtaining a burn permit is a privilege and not a right. EPA rules apply to an individual's burn site and burning anything other than vegetation, grass, tree branches or leaves is illegal. A burn permit will ONLY be granted if conditions are favorable to burn and the permit is issued at the discretion of the fire department personnel issuing the permit.
