The Worcester County Fire Marshal's Office is currently conducting an investigation into a non-permitted control burn in the Morris Road area of Bishopville, Maryland. The Bishopville Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched for an outside fire at 1:27AM this date. Upon arrival they found several piles of debris burning, unattended. It appears a subject(s) had moved or delivered debris from clearing a lot and set the debris on fire. Although not consider arson, the environmental laws clearly state only debris accumulated on the same property can be burned. Permits may be required depending on the size of the debris pile and quantity. Worcester County passed an "Outdoor Burn Regulation" in 2001 and modified the violation structure in 2009. |
