Burn Permit Instructions when calling:

1. Please listen and follow the instructions carefully; failure to do so will result in an invalid burn permit.
2. Open burning is prohibited in the city limits of Allegan, Wayland, Otsego, or Plainwell; you cannot burn at all, please contact your fire chief if you need further information.
3. This permit is good for brush, shrubs, and leaves only. You must have a source of water nearby and the fire must be attended at all times. If the burn gets out of control and requires a fire department response you may be held liable for any costs incurred.

Listen to the prompts to leave information for the correct fire department.  Press 7 to repeat the menu.

The system will then ask you for your name, address that you will be burning at, phone number, and the township you are burning in. After you leave that information, you can disconnect.

Reminder: The burn permit is good for one day only, and that is the day that you call.
