301.2.
F-301.2 Allowable burning:
Open burning shall be allowed without prior notification to the code
official for: recreational fires, highway safety flares, smudge pots and similar occupational needs and
instruction in methods of fire fighting under the control of the Chambersburg Fire Department.
F-301.3 Agricultural and cemetery exceptions:
Upon prior notification to the
Borough Fire Code Enforcement Officer, open burning shall be permitted on
tracts of land of not less than 10 acres that are in agricultural or cemetery use,
provided that the open burning is at least 200 feet from any adjacent property and
the open burning is for silvicultural or agricultural management purposes. Such
notification for open burning under this section shall be submitted in writing at
