People need to be careful, but burning the weeds and grass around the house now might very well save it come August. I expect open burning to be shut down pretty early this year. I always start my burning, whether its weeds or slash piles, in early evening after the afternoon breezes have died down. If that means staying up until midnight to feed it and poke it, so be it. That way by the time it gets hot and breezy again the next day, it's pretty well out.

The public land managers are in a predicament because on the one hand they want to burn when things are pretty damp and calm to keep the fire from getting away or crowning, but on the other hand they're constrained by air pollution regulations that force them to burn hotter and on windier days for less smoke. And these days, no matter what they do, some people will raise holy hell about any smoke at all.
