The Sauble Elk Eden Townships Fire Department is dedicated to protecting the life, property, and natural beauty of our three rural townships. Serving our full-time residents, seasonal cabin owners, and outdoor visitors, our paid-on-call responders deliver swift, professional response to structure and wildland fires, medical emergencies, motor vehicle and trail accidents, and search and rescue missions across our lakes, trails, and public lands.
Please visit the Michigan DNR website to see if open burning is allowed in your township today. You must do this every time you wish to burn vegetation or leaves. Burning when not allowed, or openly burning prohibited items like building materials, could result in a citation. If you cause a forest fire, you could be liable for all the costs of that fire.
