Fire Warden The City will n^ to have a Fire Warden to administer the issuance of burning permits. The DNR is responsible for open burning within the state and delegates administration to local units of government though the appointment of fire wardens. Since this program will be administered through the Public Services Department, we are recommending that the Public Services Director be designated as the fire warden. The fire warden can then delegate the issuance of permits and site inspections to other staff members. Site inspections will be conducted by inspectors in the ^blic services Department. The Orono police will be notified of bums and can provide assistance in monitoring of bums in progress.
