Due to extremely dry conditions, the Clio Area Fire Department is prohibiting open burning until further notice in the City of Clio as well Vienna and Thetford Townships.

While we encourage not burning outdoors at all, small recreational and cooking fires (e.g. charcoal) contained in a pit, ring, or grill are permitted, but the fire must be attended at ALL times and you must have a source of water at the ready. These exceptions may change, so please call 810-686-5432 before burning to check the latest restrictions. If you do decide to use fire outdoors, please be sure to extinguish your fire completely, as the smallest ember can easily result in a wildfire.

MI Prevention was created in 2017 with a group of volunteers across the State of Michigan that developed a 3-year strategic plan to reduce fire fatalities across our State. Their mission is to provide sustainable community risk reduction programs to minimize fire deaths, injuries, and property loss within the state of Michigan. They will achieve our goals by fostering collaborative relationships, implementing education programs, establish data and analytics and develop more strategic community outreach.

The Home Safety Visits App provides a series of brief videos on fire saftey and prevention.
