Open Burning

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

When you burn trash outdoors, the potential cost to your health, your home, your neighbors and the environment far exceeds the cost of adequate collection services. Protect yourself, your family, your neighbors and your wallet by knowing the rules - what can you burn and where?
NB: Open burning is defined as "the burning of any matter in such a manner that products of combustion resulting from the burning are emitted directly into the ambient (surrounding outside) air without passing through an adequate stack, duct or chimney." Generally, anytime you light a fire outdoors, you are open burning.

You are ALL 100% right flowsnow! Couldn't agree more! Unfortunately this is one of the daily routines around some villages/cities/countries around our planet = too bad, - a very good "speaking" picture! VOTED!

I cannot believe that they would burn that close to the trees, and look how close those cars are!

Well said! It is a bit too close to the trees for my liking! ;o)

The distortion caused by the smoke makes an interesting effect.
