The Open Burning Official grants or denies open burning permits in accordance with Section 22a-174 of the Connecticut Statutes as amended, the regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection, and Killingworth Ordinances. Because of environmental and safety concerns, open burning is not encouraged.
