But, there are some restrictions, outdoor burning must be in compliance with state law, person must obtain a burn permit from Georgia Forestry Commission, no burn permit is required for cooking or heating, all fires must be attended at all times, all fires must have a water source to assist in controlling and all fires must be completely out by dark, except cooking and heating.
