BURN PERMIT
GUIDELINES
ALL OUTSIDE BURNING
in the Town of Hampton requires a burn permit to be issued.
Application shall be made either in person or by calling the
fire department at 926-3316. Burns shall be
located a minimum of 50 feet away from buildings, fences,
power lines, etc. The burn site will be
inspected by Hampton Fire & Rescue prior to the issuance of
a permit. If your fire is
deemed a nuisance, you may be required to extinguish it
immediately. As stated on the
permit, the sole liability for damages or other costs
(including extinguishing) caused by your fire are your
responsibility. The
permittee must be at least 18 years old and the legal
landowner, or have the landowner’s written approval.
The written approval must be submitted to receive a permit.
The permittee must have proper suppression equipment to
maintain control of the fire at all times.
Fires are not allowed on the beach in Hampton.
The
Fire
Law Brochure

the specific rules regarding outside burning.

of a Fire/EMS report by contacting the administration
offices at 926-3316 or stopping by Station 1 at 64 Ashworth
Avenue between the hours of 9:00 and 5:00 Monday-Friday.

How do I
become a firefighter for Hampton Fire/Rescue?
Hampton
Fire/Rescue accepts applications from New Hampshire career
firefighters wishing to laterally transfer as well as from
candidates that have successfully completed the State of New
Hampshire's statewide firefighter entrance examination
process. For more information you can call Deputy Fire
Chief Steven Benotti at 929-1914 or check out the link to NH
Fire Standards and Training below.
http://www.state.nh.us/safety/fst/statetest.html
Fire engines are
dispatched on emergency medical calls that require advanced
life support, motor vehicle accidents and calls in which
additional personnel are needed to move the patient into the
ambulance. This allows for sufficient personnel on
scene to administer the advanced life support care and
treatment that is necessary. By sending the fire
engine we are using the most cost efficient method of
service delivery because it allows the firefighters to
respond to the medical call, provide the assistance needed,
and then immediately be available for another call. If
they were to use a different vehicle they would have to
return to the fire station first causing increase response
times and a longer wait for those who need help.
You can stop by
either fire station to have it checked. Fire Station #1 is
located at 64 Ashworth Avenue and Fire Station #2 is located
at 140 Winnacunnet Road. If you have difficulty getting out
you can call our dispatch at 926-3316 and ask to have
someone come to your home and check it.

programs ?

Prevention Bureau can assist you with this by calling them
