[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 1486786, member: 1546"] I am not sure what the law says about length... But being part of one of the largest fire department in my county, I can assure you a 7 day burn ban was/and can be enacted as well. In fact, a 7 day burn ban was enacted previous to the 30 day ban. The 30 day ban can be lifted before the 30 day ban through the same process it is enacted. (County Comissioners often use county fire department officials to help influence the decision) One of the biggest reason the 30 day ban is used instead of the 7 day ban is so they dont have to meet weekly unless the "fire potential" changes. There could probably be some better ways of doing it. But in my opinion it is the most efficient way of doing it. A daily report and determination by fire officials for the local area would be the most accurate and allow more controlled burns to take place during the times that would be under a burn ban but would also be a logistical nightmare. I am currently a 10 year veteran as a volunteer firefighter in a combined fulltime/volunteer fire station and I personally have dealt with many people who can do a controlled burn as good as a baker with 20 years experience can decorate a cake. Likewise I have dealt with some who its likely they could burn there house down with cndles on the birthday cake. The burn ban in my opinion is a blanket protection that unfortunately has to apply to both. (posted from phone I will proof read when I get to a computer.) [/QUOTE]
