The Montgomery County Commission has asked people not to do any open burning over the 4th of July because dry conditions may cause wildfires. But there is already an annual ADEM open burning ban in effect to prevent Summertime air pollution:
ADEM Burning Bans
To assist in meeting regional air quality standards the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) implements summer open burning bans from May 1st thru October 31st in twelve Alabama counties: Baldwin, DeKalb, Etowah, Jefferson, Lawrence, Madison, Mobile, Montgomery, Morgan, Shelby, Russell and Talladega Counties.
What is banned? The open burning of untreated wood from construction or demolition and the open burning of vegetation from clearing or maintaining non-agricultural property. “Prescribed burning of agricultural or forestlands for silvicultural, agricultural or wildlife management purposes is allowed under the AFC Burn Permits for these counties.”
And let's remember that fireworks are illegal all year long in the city of Montgomery!
