I’ve tried on my end to see a temporary ban on burning yard waste in rural areas to no avail. Called the news media/health department/local and state reps/senator/etc. Nothing! Sometimes it looks like California fires on a nice day. A few of my neighbors are curtailing but it’s a right of passage to burn without any thought of those who have asthma-COPD-bronchitis-emphysema. Very few care and it’s not on the radar in Springfield. What to do??
