Welcome to the Shepherd Volunteer Fire Department
                      
                                                               Shepherd, Montana

                 






Spring means many will be participating in field burning and slash pile burns. Please contact Yellowstone County to learn more about how to burn safely and legally.

To obtain your Open Burning Permit contact:

Air Quality Program
123 South 27th Street
Billings, MT 59101
256-6841

Once you have been issued a permit, it is your responsibility to contact your local Fire Department, the City/County Dispatch Center (657-8200) on each day that burning is anticipated and provide the following information:

     a. Location of where burning will be conducted.
     b. Material to be burned.
     c. Call when fire is done. 

During a National Weather Service Red Flag Warning, no open burning is allowed.

An open burning permit may be suspended or revolked at any time when conditions warrant, or when the permit holder is in non-compliance with the Open Burning Policy. The Fire Marshal/Fire Chief has the authority to discontinue any open burn

We are always looking for Volunteers! If you would like more information, please contact us at:
