Open debris burning prohibited in Upper Peninsula and Northern Lower Michigan
As warm, dry weather persists this
week in Michigan, the Department of Natu- ral Resources and Environment would like to remind property owners that open debris burning is prohibited at this time and no burn permits are being issued due to high danger fire conditions throughout the Upper Penin- sula and Northern Lower Michigan. With a lack of snow on the ground in the
Upper Peninsula, exposed dry, dead grasses and vegetation is easily ignited. More than half of wildfire occurrences this year, num- bering over 50 so far in March, have been caused by property owners burning debris. “This is an unusual spring for us because
we lack snow in parts of the state that usually are blanketed with snow into April,” said Paul Kollmeyer, DNRE fire prevention specialist. “Normally, wildfire season starts in the south- ern part of Michigan and works its way north. This year, we have had wildland fires occur in all regions of the state.”
“In order to reduce fire danger right now,
we need all property owners to forgo debris burning at this time until fire conditions im- prove,” said Kollmeyer. “If you do debris burning now and the fire escapes your con- trol, you will be held liable for the cost of put- ting out the fire.” Kollmeyer suggested that property own-
ers try safer alternatives, such as composting yard waste or chipping brush into mulch, rather than burning it. Citizens can check burning conditions in their area by going to www.michigan.gov/burnpermit. The interac- tive map on the site will list burning condi- tions by county down to the township level. Kollmeyer reminded citizens that persons
burning yard waste in the northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula are re- quired to obtain a DNRE burn permit first. The permits are free and available online
at: www.michigan.gov/burnpermit. This year, the burn permit Web site has been stream- lined and improved. It shows a map of Michi- gan, and by clicking on the county in which a person needs a burn permit, homeowners will be informed of local burning ordinances and restrictions. On the DNRE burn permit Web site, resi-
dents are not required to give personal infor- mation about their location or what they are burning. They simply need to check the site for what burning conditions are in their area. Persons without Internet access can call (866) 922-2876 toll-free. For more information on wildland fire
prevention, check the DNRE’s Web site at www.michigan.gov/dnr-fire.
