Ugh I was afraid of this answer. I was getting the feeling that around Monroe County it is just not something that is allowed or done. It is stupid as on private property, you should be allowed to do what you can for your land management. This seems to show a massive amount of ignorance on the states part for just how effective of a conservation tool fire can be, and it is becoming wildly popular again down south.
I would just go ahead and do it anyway, but I have a feeling the neighbors would be making calls about the smoke and I have to imagine the fine I would get wouldn't be minimal.
