Alabama Prescribed Burning Act
Alabama · Conservation and Natural Resources · §§ 9-13-270 to 9-13-274 · 5 sections
Overview
The act establishes a legal framework for prescribed burning — the intentional, controlled application of fire to land for vegetation and land-management purposes. It defines the practice and its related terms, sets out the conditions under which a burn may lawfully be conducted, and addresses the liability of those who plan and carry out a burn that meets those conditions. Detailed implementation is delegated to administrative rulemaking, and the act further provides for fees and exempts certain burning from its requirements.
