1. Can I burn leaves and brush in Rochester Hills?

No. The city ordinance allows for recreational fires, which means dried seasoned firewood. Having a recreational fire on the ground requires a permit. If a resident has a commercial fireplace (such as you would buy at a local hardware or building store) a permit is not required. Residents found burning in violation of the ordinance will be fined for ordinance violation.

2. Does Rochester Hills provide smoke alarms to residents?

Yes. The fire department has a non-profit fund which was established a few years ago by local businesses and employees to make sure our residents are protected with smoke alarms. If you need a smoke alarm please contact the fire department office by email or by phone at 248.656.4720 to schedule an appointment, and we will provide a smoke alarm and install it.
