Anyone with a small plot of land, trees or a vegetable garden will know how quickly piles of waste build up: weeds, tree prunings and other material waiting to be burned.
Well we have 2 options:
A: Light the fire and cross your fingers that a Seprona patrol or firefighters do not appear. With a consequence of a financial fine.
B: Do things properly: ask the agriculture and fisheries department, town hall or county council for permission. If you don't know where to go, ask a local farmer.
In my area I had to go to the agriculture and fisheries department. Where you fill out a paper with your information, the property and completion date. Having said that, I set the limit, from today until March 31, because with more than a mountain of pruning remains we will a good one calçotada. No? Hehe 😉
Recommendations: Avoid days of wind, with pine trees nearby, have a hose nearby and soak the surrounding area before lighting. If the flames exceed 3 metres, it is advisable to pour a jet of water on it to reduce the force. And one of these fires can burn an entire week, so be careful!
