residents and supporters within the community.
The department’s mission is to protect the community of Silver
City and the surrounding area from wild land and structure fires.  
The department is formed by volunteer citizens. It protects 150
homes and an area of  42 square miles.
Burn Permits
Burn permits can be obtained online.
