There is a complete ban on burning from April 1 to October 1 every year. To report illegal burning; Dial 911 tell them this is a non-emergency call. Give them the address of the illegal burning. It usually takes about 15 min. for the fire department to show up. They will not give out your name. Note: it is never legal to burn trash.
