Administration and management of the burn pit is handled by the Jefferson/Como Fire Protection District. Please stop by the J.C.F.P.D. Station #5 (just west of the burn pit) to fill out a registration form to use the burn pit. At that time you will be issued the lock combination.

 

The Fire District also has the application and more information on their web site at jcfpd.org.

Disposal of slash resulting from fire mitigation is the primary reason for the burn pit operation. Noncombustible products (metal, glass, etc.) and trash are strictly prohibited.

For more information, please contact the J.C.F.P.D at 719-836-3244
