Seems like a pretty sensible rule, still let you cook outdoors and have a normal bonfire as well as a few other things. Burning burch is easier then taking it to a dump, but as long they provide a recycle center to drop brush off at it shouldn't be a problem.
It's actually NYS law. No burning period with a few exceptions as in that article. They have become real cobs about it too. I save my burn piles for the middle of winter when we get a storm off the lake and you can't see 10 ft in front of you.
We have something similar here. (more condition based than time based) Burn bans during low humidity & dry conditions. Usually no burning in spring when it's dry, but we had high fire dangers mid winter this year with burn bans . Just watch the web site to know when you are allowed to burn. Have to have, (can download) a free burn permit. It gives some basic safety precautions & procedures. Today is a good brush burn day, fresh 1-1/2 of snow & still snowing
LOL. That sounds reasonable JustWood. I know they need some regulations. But I think they are getting a little too strict. But that is the result of a few bad apples ruining it for the rest. Carelessness, lose control of fire, cost everyone more money, regulation for all. Too bad.
We have to call in to the fire dept on that day to get the conditions and then permission to burn. The communities here don't have large parcels of land.
