There are legal and illegal ways to open burn. When, where, and how a material is burned, and what the material is, determines if the burn is legal or illegal. Local county/municipal ordinances may have more stringent rules than state regulations. Contact your regional Division for Air Quality Office for more information on county ordinances.

During fire season (February 15 through April 30 and October 1 through December 15) burning is allowed only between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. From May-September, open burning of legal materials is allowed but prohibited in particular areas. Check with your Regional Division for Air Quality Office or call BURN-LAW for more information.

During fire season, burn at least 150 feet from the nearest forested area. Do NOT locate fires near streams, sinkholes, or under or over utility lines. Do NOT burn within 50 feet of any structure. Do not burn near landfills.
