We bought a residential burn permit (for disposing of yard waste only) from the North Lyon County Fire Protection District last fall, but then the weather turned on us and it was too unpleasant or we were too busy thereafter. The permit is good through May, and today's weather was ideal (virtually no wind, not too hot or too cold), so it was time to get rid of some of the debris that has been piling up.
( Safe Disposal )
At one point a white truck pulled up a block away from us and I thought it might have been someone from the city (it was not a NLCFPD truck) concerned about our burn. We do hear on the radio various call-outs about fires that sometimes turn out to be legal and permitted burns. There's no mechanism to inform the NLCFPD in advance that you are using your residential burn permit. We did make a good show of closely monitoring our fire, wielding our rake, shovel, and hose, and the truck went away, and as it left, I saw it didn't even have Nevada license plates, so it was probably not anything to do with us.
