On June 13, 2017 the voters in the Town of Kennebunk approved an ordinance titled  "Use of Consumer Fireworks (PDF)." The ordinance requires that a permit must be issued for all consumer fireworks use in Kennebunk. Please visit the Fireworks in Kennebunk page for complete details regarding Fireworks in Kennebunk.

We schedule classes frequently.

Please contact Dean Auriemma at (207) 604-2102 ext. 1641 or by email.

We use the Maine Forest Service as our Burning Permit System.
 
NARRAGANSETT POINT (BEACH FIRE PIT) - You MUST come into the Fire Station on the day that you wish to have a fire at the fire rings provided at Narragansett Point.  A maximum of 2 permits daily will be allowed on a first-come first-served basis.  Phone calls will not be permitted. 

Seasonal campfire permits will also be obtained through the Maine Forest Service each day the occupant/resident wants to burn. 

Burn permits are issued through the Maine Forest Service starting at 9:00 a.m. each day once the State of Maine Forest Service has determined the Fire Class Day. Kennebunk is located in Zone 10. If Fire Danger is a class 3 or higher, there will be no burning permits issued. The officer in charge may also choose to shut down burning even on a class 2 day if winds are predicted to be high or if wind gusts increase more than originally predicted for that day, as well as any time they feel there is a higher danger. Kennebunk is located in Zone 10. Burning may not start until after 9:00 a.m. and must be finished by 11:00 p.m.
 
All burn permits are for clean wood products only, and piles are to be kept small (i.e., 3’ diameter piles). Burning of highly combustible materials and/or domestic, household trash such as paper and cardboard is prohibited by law.

These permit policies are recommended standards, suggested by the Maine Forest Service. These policies are in place to protect life and property and help the Fire Department in controlling the possibility of fires getting out of control. If you have any questions concerning these policies, please feel free to contact the Kennebunk Fire Rescue at 207-604-1354.

Then it's doing its job. Do not disable your smoke alarm if it alarms due to cooking or other non-fire causes. You may not remember to put the batteries back in the alarm after cooking. Instead, clear the air by waving a towel near the alarm, leaving the batteries in place. The alarm may have to be moved to a new location.

You should change the batteries in your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector two times a year. A good rule is when you change your clocks ahead in the spring, change your batteries. And, when you change them back in the fall, again, change the batteries.

Some smoke alarms are considered to be hardwired. This means they are connected to the household electrical system and may or may not have batter back-up. Alarms that are hardwired to the home's electrical system should be installed by a qualified electrician. It's important to test every smoke alarm monthly. Always use new batteries when replacing the old ones.
