New On-line Open-burning Permit System Up and Running

The Town of Hooksett is one of 15 New Hampshire communities participating in a pilot program offering web-based open fire permits. This new system, administered by NH Department of Resources and Economic Development, Division of Forests and Lands, was developed by Sovereign Sportsman Solutions based out of Tennessee, the same company that handles on-line fishing and hunting licenses for NH Fish and Game Department.

Residents will be able to visit the Division of Forest and Lands website, fill out the required information, and print off a permit, all without leaving their home. The cost of an on-line permit is $3.00. The on-line system is an option to, and not a replacement for, the paper permit that you can currently get at no charge at the fire department. The system is being tested until summer 2014 when it will be launched statewide. For more information, please contact the Hooksett Fire-Rescue Department at 603-623-7272 or you can contact the Division of Forests and Lands at 603-271-2214.
