Before calling, please also check the Michigan DNR burn conditions for Muskegon County to ensure burning is allowed today. You can find the DNR burn conditions map (updated daily at 9am) here: DNR Burn Conditions Map.

Important: Open burning is not permitted within Whitehall City limits at any time regardless of conditions.
