Kennebunk is located in Zone 10. If the Fire Danger is a class 3 or higher, no burning permits will be issued. The officer in charge may also choose to shut down burning even on a class 2 day if winds are predicted to be high or if wind gusts increase more than originally predicted for that day, as well as any time they feel there is a higher danger.
