I left the area, only to be faced with woodsmoke issues from wood stoves and fire pits in the new area.
I have next door neighbors who have a fire pit in which they burn brush and yard debris 4 to 5 days a week for 6–12 hours a day…
So we pay the price for ignorance, poor ordinance, years of fighting for our property rights, the stress, the duress, the financial burdens, and now the physical death of my husband due to this.
I have a heart condition and have to run two big air purifiers 24/7 and sometimes the smoke is so bad I can’t go out in my yard.
…My neighbors insist upon having fires constantly. My home completely fills with smoke…
…I have significant heart disease and cannot believe there aren’t more laws to protect people from this pollution… The Burn Wise initiatives are a complete joke…
…His wood burning makes our entire apartment smell like smoke even when all of the windows and doors are closed…
We have an imported “Nordic Spa” across the road from us. Several open wood burning fire pits still burning 14 hours a day, 7 days a week.
…these smokers’ rights trump my rights—they can dump their smoke on my lot, so I can’t use my property the way I choose.
