Getting a burn permit for your area has never been easier. Use the interactive
map to find the burn conditions in your area. If "YES" appears in the Burning Permits Issued column you are authorized to burn
today. This serves as your burn permit. You don't need to print anything.
Burning authorized by this permit is for yard rakings and brush ONLY. It does not relieve the responsible person(s) of liability for all
damages resulting from the escape of the fire. You are responsible for understanding Michigan's Open Burning Laws and Rules.
