A heads up about open burning in Cecil County....

Here is a link to some of Cecil county's rules about open burning (this does not include campfires and cooking fires)

Some highlights:

• There is a natural or constructed fire break (i.e., green grass or dirt) at least 10 feet wide completely around the material to be burned that is free of flammable materials.
• If the burn site is within 200 feet of woodland or flammable material which could ignite and carry fire to woodland, burning can only occur between 4:00 pm and midnight.
• Material to be burned must have originated on the premises.
• Materials permitted to be burned are dry brush and dry leaves. Treated or painted wood, poison ivy and poison sumac, and materials which produce dense smoke may not be burned.
• Adequate personnel and equipment must be present at the burn site to prevent fire from escaping until the last spark is out. • A hazardous condition or nuisance may not be created – be aware of weather and wind conditions and considerate of neighbors.
