Winter burning allowed beginning Sunday
Between Dec. 1 and Feb. 28, 2025, burning is permissible in the western burn zone by permit only. Montana’s western burn zone pertains to several counties, including Butte-Silver Bow, Anaconda-Deer Lodge, Powell, Lewis & Clark, Granite, Jefferson, Beaverhead, Madison, and Gallatin.
To burn in the western burn zone, start by submitting a Wintertime Open Burning Request form to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. Requests need to be in by 4 p.m. for burns planned for the following day. For weekend burns, have your submissions prior to 3 p.m. Friday. Burners will be notified via email the day prior to the burn whether the burn has been approved based on forecasted ventilation rates and air quality.
Open burning is defined as outdoor burning of materials such as slash piles, yard or field waste. It does not include small recreational fires, flares or construction site heaters. Only clean, untreated wood and plant material may be burned. Do not burn food wastes, plastics, wood that has been coated, painted, stained, or treated, dead animals or animal droppings, rubber materials, chemicals, asphalt shingles, tar paper, hazardous wastes or structures containing these materials.
The DEQ website has information about what materials can and cannot be burned, frequently asked questions about open burning, state-issued major open burning permits, and local contact information.
