Northville to Have Controlled Burn Near Hines Drive Monday

A controlled burn has been scheduled for Monday along Hines Drive, approximately one-half mile north of Six Mile Road. This controlled burn has been authorized by the Northville Township Fire Department and will be conducted by David Borneman, LLC at the request of Wayne County’s Department of Public Services. The purpose of this controlled burn is to stimulate native vegetation and to limit invasive plant species in the area.

On the day of the burn, notification of residents and visitors in the area will be made utilizing “Caution Smoke Ahead” signs located along Six Mile Road, Hines Drive and at the entrances to local subdivisions. The controlled burn will take approximately one hour to complete. Based on the limited size of the burn area, the targeted plant species and the environmental conditions, smoke conditions are expected to be minimal. Due to the weather requirements needed to conduct this type of burn, Tuesday, April 9 and Wednesday, April 10 have been designated as alternative burn dates.

If you have any questions, please contact Northville Township Fire Inspector Tom Hughes at 248-348-5807.
