Full Notification

Michiana residents,

Due to extremely dry conditions, it is highly recommended that you do not set off fireworks this holiday weekend.  If you choose to set off fireworks and your fireworks cause damage to anyone's property, you will be issued a citation and held liable for any damage that you may have caused.  The citation amount is $1,000 plus damages.  The New Buffalo Township Fire Chief has banned open burning this weekend.  

It takes a small spark from a firework to start a grass fire.

We had a large fire last year that was a result of an errant firework.  

I, along with the Fire Chief am urging the residents to NOT set off fireworks this weekend.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Ryan Layman, Chief of Police
