Today, we honor Doug Eisenmenger for an incredible 30 years of dedicated service to the Humphrey Fire & Rescue and congratulate him on his retirement.

For three decades, Doug has faithfully served the community, answering the call day and night whenever help was needed. His commitment, professionalism, and willingness to serve have made a lasting difference in the lives of countless people.

Doug’s many years as Fire Chief were defined by strong leadership, dedication, and a deep passion for the fire service. He helped lead the department through challenges and successes, mentored firefighters and EMTs, and played a vital role in making Humphrey Fire & Rescue what it is today.

Congratulations, Doug, on 30 years of service and your well-deserved retirement. Thank you for your leadership, friendship, and dedication to Humphrey Fire & Rescue. We wish you nothing but the best in the years ahead!

(1) There shall be a statewide open burning ban on all bonfires, outdoor rubbish fires, and fires for the purpose of clearing land.

(2) The fire chief of a local fire department may waive an open burning ban under subsection (1) of this section for an area under the local fire department's jurisdiction by issuing an open burning permit to a person requesting permission to conduct open burning. The permit issued by the fire chief to a person desiring to conduct open burning shall at a minimum contain (a) the name and telephone number of the landowner, (b) the burn location, (c) the date and beginning and ending time of the burn, (d) a description of the material to be burned, and (e) the name and telephone number of the person responsible for the burn. The local fire department may have additional requirements for a burn to be permitted. The permit shall contain the signature, written or electronic, of the local fire chief. The State Fire Marshal shall provide a sample form with the minimum requirements on the website of the State Fire Marshal.

(3) The fire chief of a local fire department may waive the open burning ban in the local fire department's jurisdiction when conditions are acceptable to the chief.
