Per Michigan DNR Fire Officials, OPEN BURNING is ON as of 9/11/2019 and will be on all weekend. 

The Michigan DNR controls when open brush burning is allowed and during the spring and summer this can change daily.  Conditions can sometimes change very quickly - if you have any questions please call one of the numbers below for assistance.
