Jefferson county, along with several more counties are under a no burn from May 1st til Oct. 31 every year. They have loosened this a little but in the past there was to be no burning at all (except for small camp fires and for cooking). Now they have given local chiefs in the vfd's a little leeway. You need to contact them before you do. Or just wait till after Oct 31st, dont need a permit from forestry if under a quarter acre. If you are in the city limits it a whole nother ball game.
