Another case of personal responsibility gone out the window. In fact my wood stove is going right now and i didnt have to call to get permission.
I was just wondering if there was a setback from the lake from DES. |
The controlling authority on when & where you can burn is your local fire warden apppointed by the State. Any outside burning, including cooking or camp fires, is strictly regulated by State law and can be reviewed by reading the applicable statute,
RSA 227-L.
And yes, this statute applies everywhere, even in Gilford.
Unfortunately, even with this very easy permitting process in place, hundreds of individuals excercising there "personal responsibility" find a way to set their yards, their neighbors yards, surrounding woods & forests or their homes and unfortunately homes of others because they failed to follow simple rules or a good dose of common sense.
Hope this helps answer your original question....
