https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=167808 Jason Moore contacted Debora Shaw Ms.Shaw, In simplest terms the only open burning that is allowed within city limits is for the preparation of food or recreational fires in a chimenea. No matter what use, it becomes a nuisance fire if it bothers a neighbor. Here is the section of our fire ordinance that covers outdoor burning: Chapter 18.16 - OPEN BURNING Sections: 18.16.010 - General. In addition to the requirements of this code, all rules of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management shall be observed at all times. (Ord. 97-36 § 25, 1997). 18.16.020 - Permit required. No person shall kindle or maintain any bonfire or open burning, or authorize any such fire to be kindled or maintained within the city limits without permit or proper authorization from the fire chief. During construction or demolition of buildings or structures, no waste materials or rubbish shall be disposed of by burning on the premises or in the immediate vicinity without having obtained a permit or proper authorization. Any applicant for an open burning permit shall demonstrate that he/she is in legal control of the lot or parcel of land on which the burning is to be done. Exception: These restrictions do not prohibit outdoor fires in pits or grills used solely for the preparation of food. (Ord. 97-36 § 26, 1997). I hope this helps resolve your issue, if this becomes an issue you may call 911 to report a nuisance fire and we will send a crew out to resolve the issue. Respectfully, Chief Moore
