Environment
Yard fire ban a no-brainer
I agree wholeheartedly with Alan Gibson's letter Ban backyard burning (Aug. 5).
There is far more pollution from backyard fires. There have been many nights we could not enjoy open windows or sitting outside because of acrid smells of burning. I have respiratory problems and understand how it is to breathe in this stench. One morning I woke to find my car covered in ashes from someone's fire.
Please ban all fires in backyards. In densely populated areas, it should be a no-brainer. Sparks from these fires also can start other fires. Common sense should rule.
