I agree with Cathy.I ran into this about 10 years ago when I was burning some green waste.My neighbor called the fire department and when they responded, they checked and what I was doing was legal.If the neighbor had walked over to my lot and complained I would have put the fire out right then.She tried to call me on the phone while I was out in the yard tending the fire.
I did put out the fire and I haven't burnt anything since.
808 your entire post is beside the point.By the way the section you quoted is from the state DOH.

weeds, wood which has not been painted with
lead paint or treated with insecticides or
pesticides, paper, and similar materials on
one's own premises, not exceeding four family
units and twenty-five pounds per day, per
unit, provided such burning is:
(A) Not within fifty feet of any habitable

and 6:00 p.m.;

I thought that the summary answered the questions on the subject.I didn't realize my post would have to stand up in a court of law.If you want I can go back and edit out the word code.
