BURNING ISSUES
(FIRE DEPT)
We’ve moved in to the new station. I
want to thank every one for their patience.
We held an open house on May 17
th
and had
about 200 people tour the new building. We will be
planning
a more formal dedication ceremony this fall. On
July
5
th
from 7am – 11am we will
be having a pancake breakfast
at Camp Harvest. They’ve once again offered to
hold
this to benefit the Fire Department. The proceeds
will go
toward the construction of a training tower behind
the
new station. We’re hoping to make this an annual
July 4
th
event. If you every have any questions, or are
interested
in joining the Fire Department, feel free to call
me. The
station number is 652-3757 or my
cell phone is (231)519-0434

Don't
Light that Fire Without A Permit!
State Law
requires a burning permit for any open burning done whenever the
ground is not snow covered. Call 1-866-922-2876 to obtain
a burning permit, and to learn about local burning regulations.
Burn permits will only be issued for one day at a time, as the fire
danger conditions permit, days with cool temperatures and calm
winds. Never leave your fire unattended, even for a moment.
State law requires that outdoor fires be attended at all times.
Extinguish your fire completely with water. Using soil alone
is not sufficient, and may actually allow it to escape control
later.
Special Note:
The hours for
the burn permit # are 8-am-8pm. Upon calling the number it
prompts you to also check or apply for a permit online at
http://www.michigan.gov/burnpermit, I filled out the
information to see what the results would be and this is the message
I received:
The direct
link to fill out the info is
here.
This is where you pick location and township. Hopefully this
will save you time when looking to get your burn permit.
Remember, conditions change each day and are updated at 10 am so the
quickest way to check would be at the link provided above.
Update
4-25-07
Testing the
above link for
burn
permits gave me an approval to burn as of today. Please
check back often if you want to burn and need permit approval.
