Wrong...

The permits are issued locally by individuals designated as wardens, usually within your own local fire department. Many of these individuals, outside of our cities, are unpaid volunteers. The Fremont fire department is very accomodating to it's citizens and a simple phone call ahead of time will secure you a conveniently issued permit.

Or would you rather indeed have the job taken on by the State, with State paid (and benefits & retirement plan) workers available across the State on a 24/7 basis so you don't have to do any pre-planning before you light a fire?

Not me, I prefer this mostly volunteer effort that has served the State extremely well, and very cheaply for a matter of decades.

But that's just my opinion....
