RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – The Virginia Department of Forestry is reminding residents of the state’s burning law as the start of spring fire season approaches.
Virginia’s burning law goes into effect on Feb. 15. The law prohibits burning before 4 p.m. if a fire is in or within 300 feet of woodland, brushland or fields containing dry grass or other flammable materials.
