*** Statewide Burn Ban has ended***

The suspension on outside burning has been lifted, and Bristol will return to normal permitting procedures. 

Please note, it remains dry and with leaf drop we are entering the traditional Fall fire season. As always, exercise caution with outside burning. If your brush pile has built up during the ban, consider burning it a little at a time, or waiting for a rainy day. The best option for large brush piles, is always to wait for snow cover (which won't be long) and burn it then. 

Thank you for your understanding and compliance with the ban. Now that it is over, please make sure to come to the station for a permit, or the online system is back up and permits may be obtained that way.

Fire Chief/Fire Warden

Message From the Fire Chief

Welcome to the Bristol Fire Department! The members of the department are honored to be able to serve our great community. Over the years the department has worked to adapt to the changing environment, requirements, and needs of our citizens and become a truly all-hazards response organization. You have some of the best trained and professional employees at your Fire Department. The department's apparatus fleet is modern and maintained daily. In addition to the various tools and equipment the department has to mitigate fire, medical, and rescue emergencies, we have put this site together as another tool to help us serve you better: to learn more about your Fire Department, and to find the information that you are looking for. 

Whether you are looking for an inspection, information on fire permits, or a CPR class, you can access that information here, along with so much more. Of course if you still need assistance we are always happy to see you at the Public Safety Building or talk to you on the phone. 

Thank You for your continued support and the role you play in helping us keep our community safe and a better place to live.

Ben LaRoche, Fire Chief
