Why do I have to call the police department instead of the fire department when I do a controlled burn? We have the public call the police department so that in the case a neighbor does not know you are burning and calls 911, the police department will already know you are control burning and will not send out emergency services unless they are truly needed. Please feel free to call us if you are unsure if we are under a burn ban!
