This list is just a small sample of the questions we frequently encounter. We encourage you to contact us if you need further explanation or should have additional questions.
Can I have a bon fire or burn brush in my yard? Yes. Burning outdoors, or open burning, is allowed in Eagle and Watertown Townships with a burning permit. Burning is limited to natural materials and must be attended at all times. The burning of construction material is not allowed. Visit our Open Burning page for more information.
Why did I get a bill?
In order to recover a portion of the cost of providing emergency services, Eagle and Watertown Townships have enacted a cost recovery ordinance. By ordinance, anyone receiving aid or assistance from the fire department can be billed a service fee for those services. Although the service was provided by the fire department, and the bill may appear to be from the fire department, the department is in no way involved in the billing process. Looking Glass Fire is not authorized to approve, negotiate, reduce, or waive a bill for service in anyway. All billing is conducted by the township offices, or a third-party company on behalf of the township offices. Questions and comments regarding your bill should be directed to the appropriate township office. Contact information is available on the bill or at our Links page.
If you are uncertain which township your incident occurred in, please feel free to contact the fire station and we can assist you.
