The Town of Marathon is currently within a Restricted Fire Zone.

No fire permits will be issued or sold until the Restricted Fire Zone has been lifted. This means no open-air burning requiring a permit is permitted during this time.

This includes:
🔥 Campfires and recreational fires
🔥 Outdoor fire pits and fireplaces
🔥 Chimineas
🔥 Burning grass, leaves, brush, or yard debris
🔥 Any other open-air burning that requires a permit

These restrictions are in place to help reduce the risk of wildfires and protect our community, residents, visitors, and our emergency responders.

⚠️ Emergencies can happen with little warning. Whether it's a wildfire, road closure, water advisory, power outage, or another urgent municipal notice, getting information quickly can make all the difference.
