air burning is defined as a fire where any material
is burned in the open or in a receptacle other than a
furnace, incinerator, or other equipment connected
to a stack or chimney. It also includes other fires such
as campfires.
Alternatives to open air burning include: compost-
ing, disposal at a local landfill where the yard debris
can be turned into mulch or periodic curb-side pick-
up by your regular trash collector (where available).
If you must burn, take the time to ensure that all
safety and regulatory precautions have been taken.
Permits may be required for all open air burning ex-
cept for small recreational fires such as campfires.
The permit from the Department of Natural resourc-
es is in addition to and does not substitute for a per-
mit from the local health department. For permit in-
formation, please call your local health department,
fire department or contact the Department of Natural
Resources Forest Service Office at (410) 260-8531 or
go online at: www.dnr.maryland.gov/forests
Tips for open air burning:
Dont burn on windy days.
Have hand tools and a ready water supply on
JUNE 26th site.
Never leave the fire unattended.
@ 6:30PM Clear the area around the site for a minimum
of ten feet.
Burn at a safe distance from your home, shed
or other structures.
Never use gasoline! Gasoline fumes can ignite
and cause serious injury and possible death.
Check your local and state regulations before
burning.
Hazardous items are never allowed to be burned.
Proper disposal of hazardous items such as tires,
plastics, aerosol cans, oil, etc., can be disposed of
through means provided by your local government.
The Maryland State Fire Marshal, Brian S. Geraci
states, Marylanders need to use caution when burn-
ing outdoors. The expense associated with extin-
guishment of out of control fires can be easily con-
trolled by being attentive and following established
guidelines provided by local authorities.
The MDE open burning ban is in effect annually
between June 1st and September 1st. This burn ban
involves the following counties: Anne Arundel, Bal-
timore, Calvert, Carroll, Cecil, Charles, Frederick,
Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince Georges
and Baltimore City. The ban does not affect back-
yard barbeque grilling or open fires for recreational
purposes, such as campfires. For more information
on the burn ban contact Maryland Department of the
Environment Office of Air Quality at (410) 537-3231
or go online at: www.mde.maryland.gov/programs/
researchcenter/
Open Air Burning regulations are enforced by
the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
Violations carry fines up to $1000 and/or one year
in prison. The landowner can be charged with all of
the costs associated with extinguishing the fire. Even
small campfires can cause wildfires if they are not
fully extinguished. Soak the coals with lots of water
and make sure they are out cold.
