The District of Squamish Fire Service bylaw includes three key elements;
Under the bylaw, each person who lights, maintains or is otherwise responsible for a campfire must first obtain a permit from the Fire Chief. Campfires are for the personal enjoyment of a fire by friends and family on residential property. If you are not the property owner, written consent must be submitted to the Fire Chief for review and approval of permit.
You can apply for a permit online (Note: form is only available when there is no ban in effect) or in person at Squamish Fire Rescue Hall 1, located at 37890 Clarke Drive. Our hours of business are Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. (closed between noon and 1 p.m.) when fire bans are not in effect. Permits are valid for the duration that one lives at the registered property. Annual renewal is no longer required.
