Look at what you've decided to burn. It's the Law. Certain kinds of open burning are still allowed if they don't create a nuisance and if they are not prohibited by local ordinances. Burning of leaves, brush, dead wood, tree cuttings, and weeds from your own property. Burning of vegetative matter from land clearing, as long as it isn't within a thousand feet of another residence.

You don't need an air quality permit for allowable fires. However, in some cases, you will need a local permit from your town or your local forest ranger. These DFR permits are provided free of charge by the Fire Marshal's Office. Open burning can be a nuisance, and officials may establish local rules to reduce that nuisance.
