Why Do We Have Fire Laws?

摘要

Each year, wildfires damage and destroy thousands of acres of woodlands and personal property, as well as endanger anyone in their path, including fire fighters. Alabama's fire laws were established to achieve two simple goals - protect people and protect property. To that end, outdoor burning can be restricted and/or prohibited through four different methods: state law, local ordinances, ADEM laws/regulations, and health department rules.
