The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

All fire suppression training must conform to the guidelines established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard on Live Fire Training Evolutions (NFPA 1403).

In addition to conforming to NFPA 1403, fire suppression personnel must comply with applicable environmental regulations and minimize the effect fire suppression training has on the environment. The following information includes measures to be considered prior to conducting fire suppression training.

Solid waste materials cannot be burned as part of a training exercise. This includes furniture, appliances, scrap tires and household garbage.
Waste materials removed from the premises should either be reused, recycled, or appropriately disposed.
Including hazardous materials in devices like mercury switches, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs and any other hazardous materials.
The contaminants emitted from the burning of these materials are extremely toxic and pose a health and safety risk to firefighters participating in the exercise and residents living nearby.
The district office should be made aware of the training exercise because they respond to air quality complaints and will need to know about activities in the area that may be generating air pollution.
They can also answer questions about what can and cannot be included in a fire suppression training.
Once the training is completed, dispose of remnants properly. The remaining waste material from the fire suppression training should be hauled to an appropriate disposal facility. To get to solid waste program resources/details, visit our solid waste page.
