Despite a statewide burn ban that prohibits any burning of brush until May 14, town fire departments are still allowed to burn brush as part of their training exercises. But towns looking to kill two birds with one stone by having the fire department burn their waste could face legal problems, says the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.
"I know it's a legitimate fire training and can be done," [Wilmington supervisor Randy] Preston said. "I'm just trying to find out, before we make any move, what DEC would be planning on doing. I guess it's going to be up to us whether we're going to push the envelope or not."
