Open burning pollutes the air and can make it difficult for people with
respiratory problems to breathe. When the air is stagnant, open burning can
create smoke and odor nuisances – and health risks – for nearby residents,

low and air circulates well. During the “open burning season” (which runs from
January 15 to May 1), open burning is allowed in Massachusetts only on days
when BOTH air quality and fire safety conditions are acceptable. Local fire
