Are there certain restrictions for campfires, bonfires, and other ceremonial fires?

If I have camp fires and fires used solely for outdoor cooking and other recreational purposes, or for ceremonial occasions, or for human warmth and comfort, and the North Carolina Forest Service has banned burning in my area, does this also constitute an air quality violation?

Is my church or business allowed to burn leaves, tree branches and yard trimmings?

Yes. These fires cannot use synthetic materials, refuse, or salvageable materials for fuel.

No. Unlike the previous categories it is not considered a violation of 15A NCAC 2D .1900, but may be a violation of the North Carolina Forest Service ban itself.
