My neighbor is burning in the back yard and the smoke is coming into my house. What can I do?
Recreational burning is permitted provided that the resident follows established guidelines. If the smoke is coming into your home and this is bothering you, then contact 911 and report a fire in the backyard that is creating a smoke condition. The fire department will respond and talk with you to understand the problem and may require the resident to extinguish the fire.
