Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 6 § 6.15
OPEN BURNING PERMIT REVOCATION (Bloomington Fire Prevention Code)
Operative Text
The Fire Marshal may revoke an open burning permit if: (a) A reasonable, practical method of disposal of the material is found; (b) A fire hazard exists or develops during the course of the burning; or (c) Any of the conditions of the open burning permit are violated. (Ord. 2023-6 , passed 3-20-2023)
Under Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 6.15, the Fire Marshal has the authority to revoke an open burning permit under three circumstances: if a practical alternative disposal method becomes available, if a fire hazard arises during the burn, or if the permit holder violates any of the permit's stated conditions. Revocation can occur before or during a burn, not just at the time the permit is issued. This provision gives the Fire Marshal ongoing oversight authority over permitted open burning activities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers who hold open burning permits under § 6.15 generally ensure that all permit conditions are followed throughout the duration of any burn. Compliant operators monitor for developing fire hazards and halt burning if conditions change, since the Fire Marshal may revoke the permit mid-burn. Maintaining awareness of alternative disposal methods is also prudent, as the availability of such methods is itself a basis for revocation under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants who observe open burning on a rental property that appears unsafe or that violates permit conditions may have grounds to raise concerns under § 6.15, which authorizes the Fire Marshal to revoke permits when hazards develop or conditions are breached. Tenants can contact the Bloomington Fire Marshal's office to report potential violations or fire hazards related to open burning. Local tenant-rights organizations can help tenants understand how this provision may intersect with habitability or safety concerns in a rental context.
