Feel free to call the Fire Department at 651-747-3930 with any questions. Be A Good Neighbor Be a good neighbor when burning and consider your neighbors, as well as wind direction. Often times this prevents unnecessary calls to the fire department regarding smoke. Cleaner Alternatives Learn about your options before burning wood in your backyard.
