- Open Burning
A Burning Permit Must be Obtained
First
The Drexel Heights Fire District, Pima County, and the residents
of the District are all concerned about fire safety in our
community related to open burning. The Pima County Department of
Environmental Quality (PDEQ) has developed a permit process for
all Open Burning in Pima County. In an effort to make the
applications more readily available, Drexel Heights Fire
District has obtained copies to make available to the public.
The District cannot issue permits but we are able to distribute
application forms for the convenience of our residents. You can
pick up an Open Burning Application at our Administrative
Center, 5030 S. Camino Verde, Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm
(except holidays).
