Hillsdale Considering Stricter Open-Burn Restrictions

Hills­dale city lead­ers are look­ing at chang­ing the code that deals with open burn­ing restric­tions. A pro­posed amend­ment would ban all open­ing burn­ing in the city between mid­night and 4am except for cook­ing grills, mean­ing no camp­fires, open fire pits, or bon­fires. Out­door fires of any kind, includ­ing grills and cov­ered fire pits, would also be restricted dur­ing burn bans issued by local or state authorities.
