Normal outdoor burning rules remain in effect. Trash can still only be burned in noncombustible containers or covered pits. Agricultural or controlled burns can only be done with a permit applied for through the state Division of Forestry. Quin Romay, Putnam County's interim director of public safety, said recent rains had, indeed, quenched the threat of wildfires for the immediate future. I would still urge some caution.
People can only burn yard trash.
They cannot burn household garbage, shingles or treated wood. We haven't gotten enough rain. Putnam County has received three to five inches of rain since late last week.
