Control Burn Policy - Every day the Fire Chief advises Dispatch if control burns are allowed. Please contact Dispatch for approval prior to burning. They will let you know if the Fire Chief approves of control burns for the day and take your information so that your local area Fire Department can be notified in the event that they or we receive smoke sighting calls. Dispatch 384-2705 or 384-9631
