Burn Permits

Burn Permit-  Missouri Dept of Natural Resources requires a burn permit for any open burning inside Ray County Missouri.  No property owner is exempt from this and they must obtain a burn permit from the Fire Dept in there area.  For your convenience you can download the form above by clicking the link.  Once this is filled out please contact our office to obtain an inspection.  Once the inspection is obtained and signed by the fire dept, the property owner will need to mail, fax, or email the form to the Mo DNR office in Lees Summit Mo for authorization.  Mo DNR requires this permit for all open burning and is only valid for brush, limbs, & leaves.  No construction materials, household waste, etc may be burned at all within the county.

Tax Levy for April Ballot

Due to the increasing costs of equipment, supplies, fuel, and needing to replace our outdated station, we are going to place on the April ballot a $0.30 levy increase.  The increase is needed to replace our fire station which is falling in, setup a replacement program for our fire trucks and equipment, as well as keep our current equipment updated and running.  Without this increase we will not be able to replace any equipment as it breaks.  We will hold a public meeting later this year to discuss the levy increase and what it means to you in our district

Board Meeting- Every 2nd Wed of each Month (Some dates vary due to shift assignments)

Public is welcome to attend and ask any questions or bring up any issues you may have with the Fire Dept.  We appreciate any advice or suggestions ,you the public we serve, bring to our attention.

Ray County Fire Chiefs

The Ray County Fire Chiefs Association has been working hard the last few months on improving our mutual aid response plans and putting together a county wide tanker shuttle agreement.  All departments in the Chiefs Association are working hard to help improve our services to the public we serve.  We have also setup a number of training sessions as well.  Recently Sammy Moppin, Lee O'Dell, Joe Cline, Kyle Arnold, & Jamie Davidson went to St Peters, Mo. for a very informative extrication class.  Upon returning we was all certified in auto extrication instructor levels and will be setting up a training session thru the Ray County Fire Chiefs Association to pass on the knowledge and skills we learned there to our member departments.
