burn permits

Controlled Burns in the Village of Volente and travis county ESD no. 14

The purpose of a burn permit is to help ensure that the residents understand the guidelines for burning in the District and to assist the resident in having a safe burn site.

 

  • To burn in the ESD No. 14, you must first call 512-258-1114 to request a burn permit (at no cost). 

  • The Fire Department will come out and inspect your proposed site. 

  • Call us at 512-258-1114 the day you want to burn. 

    • This is to confirm that conditions are favorable for that particular day. Humidity, wind conditions, Red Flag Warnings, and Ozone Action Days are items that are considered for daily burn / no burn determination.

All electric gates need to have a Knox Key Switch that allows emergency services access to your property in a fire or medical emergency. The key switches can be ordered directly on knoxbox.com or through your gate company.

​

Do you have a Knox key switch and want us to test it? Contact the Volente Fire Department at info@esd14.org or 512-258-1114 and arrange for us to come by and verify operation. See knoxbox.com for more information.
