FAQs

Do I need a permit for a recreational fire?

Do I notify anyone if I’m having a recreational fire?

No; however, it is in your best interests to notify your neighbors that you’re having a fire. Sometimes the Fire Department receives calls from neighbors unaware of the recreational fire.

It is, however, required of all Minnesota residents to abide by state burning restrictions. Click here to visit the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources burning restriction map see if there are any burning restrictions in Chanhassen.
How often should I check my smoke detector?

Check it monthly and replace batteries every time you change your clock for daylight savings time.

NOTE: The Chanhassen Fire Department does not change or install smoke alarms in residential homes. Homeowners should use the guides provided to install smoke alarms in their homes or hire a professional. Most electricians or handyman-type businesses offer this type of service.
