At this time it is legal to burn yard waste. Yard waste is leaves, dried grass, tree branches, twigs and garden or plant refuse. Even though it is legal to burn these items please observe these common courtesies:
Fires must be attended at all times. Don't burn wet or green grass that causes excess smoke. If it won't burn put it out and let it dry. Burn when the wind is calm. Fire should be extinguished if it is blowing toward your neighbors house. Be respectful of you neighbor should they have windows open or laundry hanging out.
