The state law on open fires like camp fires changed a few years ago. All camp, pit, outside fireplace fires must have a permit. I believe all town fire departments will issue seasonal permits for these and require that you call to notify them when you are having one.
I have not heard of a fire department refusing to issue these permits They just want you have them in safe locations so as not to cause a structure, grass or forest fire. The last time I got one of these permits the fire department gave me a small booklet on safety and guidlines for any outside fire including ones for burning brush.
