The regulations prohibit the burning of trash, leaves and other refuse by indiviluals, and set up means by which persons who want to bum materials on their property must obtain a burning permit from the U.S. Forest Service, county fire department or health department However, the fire department remains the ultimate judge of whether burning will be permitted. These three organizations work with the U.S. Weather Bureau which uses a Clearing Index System to determine whether any burning will be allowed on a particular day. Conditions for Burning When the fire department spots a violation, they explain the pollution problems to the violators, Assistant Chief Harman said. And most of the time, the people are happy to comply with the regulations and have the trash collected legally, he added. The fire department coud cite violators, who could be punished with a maximum penalty months of a $299 fine, in jail, or both. Assistant Chief Harman stresses that the burning permit is not necessary for backyard barbecues, but we urge to use bricquettes people which cut down the smoke and pollution.
