The Province notifies Saturna when the fire risk status changes. If the fire risk on Saturna Island is rated above moderate, then Fire Permits are needed if residents wish to have an open fire. Applications for Fire Permits may be filled out at the Saturna General Store and are approved by the fire chief.

During the months between June and September no Fire Permits will be available as it is too dangerous to have open fires.

The Fire Permits allow the Fire Dept. to track legal fires and creates public awareness as to when it is safe to have open fires.
