Weber Fire District 2026 Fall Open Burn: Leaves Are Falling Yards Are Calling!
 
The Weber fire District and Utah Division of Forestry & Fire want to remind citizens of unincorporated Weber County, Farr West, Marriott-Slaterville, West Haven, Hooper, Huntsville Town, and Uintah that the Open Burning window for yard cleanup began September 20 and runs through October 30, 2026. You can obtain a burn permit by visiting the Dept. of Air Quality (DAQ) website at airquality.utah.gov.
 
Burn Permit Guidelines

1. Once a burn permit is obtained, the clearing index must be above 500 in order to burn legally. You can check the air quality index online.
2. Burning material must be of vegetation type, i.e., tree limbs, leaves & grass clippings.
3. You may NOT burn tires, paint, conventional lumber, nor any manufactured material.
4. Fires must always be accompanied and must be extinguished by dark.
5. Agricultural burning does not require a burn permit during the open burn season, nor does it need to observe the clearing index of 500. However, the agricultural community is strongly encouraged to observe the 500 clearing index. The only things allowed to be burned under the agriculture burn umbrella are ditch banks, fence lines, stubble (grain, corn, etc.), and open grazing land.
6. The Fire Department does reserve the right to extinguish any fire that becomes a public nuisance or becomes out of control.
7. Failure to comply with state or county open burning regulations could result in a fine.
