There were about a dozen responses to unauthorized burning in Danbury over the past month, according to a report from the Danbury Fire Department to the City Council. 

Fire officials reminded residents that there are dangers of brush and forest fires. Burning of small brush is allowed within the city limits as long as a permit has been issued and the requirements of the State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection have been met. Burn permits are available through the Fire Marshal’s Office. 

Fire Marshal Osborne is conducting Restaurant and Liquor inspections.  Fire Marshal Bergemann has addressed large apartment complexes, having them scheduled for the upcoming weeks.  Fire Marshal Bruce has been working with Boehringer Ingelheim, monitoring the progress and confirming code compliance of the large construction project. He has also worked with Mall Management to bring compliance to all cooking hoods and extinguishing systems.
