Citizens can buy permits through new
website
Beginning June 3, the citizens of Fergus County, Montana, will
be able to buy a burn permit without leaving home.
The Fergus County Burn Permit service is available online at
burnpermits.mt.gov. Through the new website, citizens will have
instant access to purchase permits, add multiple burn locations to
a single permit, and print permits at home or send permits to
themselves electronically by entering an email address. The online
service accepts both debit and credit cards as well as electronic
checks.
“By using the online burn permit system, we reduce the strain on
our local resources while giving our citizens easier access to this
service,” said Benjamin Phillips, Fergus County Disaster and
Emergency Coordinator. “We anticipate that this change will allow
Fergus County to better allocate resources where they are most
needed.”
Citizens can activate a permit online or by calling the county’s
new automated phone system at (833) 312-8102. When a permit holder
activates a permit by entering the permit number and the start and
stop times of the burn, county fire and emergency personnel are
immediately notified. The new service also features an interactive
map that allows citizens and county personnel to view all current
burn activity within the county.
Citizens may still obtain a burn permit in person at the Fergus
County DES Office at 712 W. Main St. in Lewistown. Payment must be
made with cash or check for permits purchased in person. Both new
and renewed permits cost $5 and are valid through the current
calendar year (Jan. 1 through Dec. 31).
