burn permit
Controlled flame license
A burn permit is official authorization from local authorities—typically a fire department or environmental agency—to conduct controlled outdoor burning of debris, brush, or agricultural waste.
Most jurisdictions require them during dry seasons or in fire-prone areas: Check if you need a burn permit before clearing that brush pile.
Permits help authorities track fires and prevent accidental wildfires.
