Edison learns about open burning from fire chief
By Alberta Stojkovic - For The Sentinel
EDISON Mount Gilead Fire Chief Chad Swank attended the Edison Village Council meeting April 12. Swank reported that the Mount Gilead Fire Department responded to 430 calls in Edison in 2020.
Swank advised the council on open burning rules in the village. A small recreational fire is permissible. It is the raging bonfires and trash burning that the fire department objects to. Those big fires can bring a fine for residents, especially when they are repeat offenders.
The fire hydrants in the village will be tested with flushing again in the fall. Council thanked Swank for the department’s attention to the village over the past year.
