The burning ban in effect for Wright County that includes Silver Creek has been lifted by the DNR. The allowable hours for burning are from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. The DNR has issued a new burning permit, which allows burning from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. The new permit is a more complicated form. You can still get this permit from the Township Clerks office during regular office hours. You will need to call an 800 number to get a permit number. You can get an online permit by going to www.dnr.state.mn.us /burningpermits . See Sandy at the Town Hall during regular business hours for burning permits. It is never permissible to burn garbage or construction debris. Recreational fires (3' x 3') do not require a permit. All fires must be attended at all times. Please be advised that burning bans and restrictions are commonly put into effect each spring by the DNR. A burning permit is not required during winter months when there is 3" or more snow cover. Sandy will be available to issue burning permits on the second and fourth Saturday of the month. This is by request only for fire permits only. You will need to call the Township office during the week to let Sandy know that you need a permit, and what time you will arrive on Saturday morning to pick up the permit.
