FIRE PERMITS NO LONGER REQUIRED IN HPD LOCATIONS
By
Jun 29, 2008, 22:35

Fire permits for the Riverbend Campground, facility fireplaces and fire pits within Hancock Park District locations are no longer required according to the HPD office. In previous years, HPD required all visitors to purchase a $5 Fire Permit precluding building fires within HPD parklands. With the purchase of the permit, firewood was also provided to the user by HPD.
 
Due to the fact that Hancock Parks are located within the quarantined area and with rising overhead costs to administer the program, it was determined that these measures are no longer necessary. Visitors can continue to enjoy fires within the parks for a variety of recreational activities.  Visitors wishing to build a fire within HPD park locations will now be required to bring their own firewood. Caution should however be used to burn all wood that is brought in and scavenging wood/limbs is prohibited from HPD park locations so as not to disturb any natural resources.
 
For additional information contact the HPD office during open hours Monday through Friday, 8am - 4:30pm, located at 1424 East Main Cross St., Findlay.
