Village of Mount Pleasant: Building InspectionOutdoor burning needs Fire Department permission.
Mount Pleasant’s burning regulations (Secs. 34-6 and 34-7) allow homeowners’ open fires only between noon and 5 p.m. with Fire Department permission, at least 10 feet from the property line and 30 feet from buildings, and permission is refused on days with unacceptable atmospheric conditions. Fires within 30 feet of a building must be in a covered metal, concrete or brick burner. The code also bans burning construction debris, so offcuts and packaging from a stove install go in the trash.
