Burn Permits are issued by the DNR for Powell Township and the DNR Customer Service Center in Marquette can be reached at 906-228-6561. If you would like to burn we also ask that you please call and leave us a message just so that we are aware at 906-345-9400
Fire Safety Home Assessments can help identify potential fire safety hazards, help residents check their smoke/fire/carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers, make sure exit routes are unobstructed, discuss having a family escape plan and safe meeting area outside, discuss Knox Home Boxes, provide information on medic alert tags and smart medic alert health ID's, and talk about the importance of having medical information and a current prescription list on the refrigerator for first responders.
If you are a senior citizen, have a parent or loved one living alone, have a medical alert alarm, a serious medical condition or mobility issue, are a seasonal resident, or have a fire or smoke alarm system, having a Knox Box on your house allows the fire department quick, non-destructive access in an emergency.
It also reduces the expense and likelihood of having to call a board up crew or contractor to repair a damaged door or window.
