New Milford lets you enjoy a backyard fire without a permit, provided you keep it small, sensible and supervised. The rules of the road: burn clean, seasoned wood only — no leaves, brush, construction scraps or trash — keep the fire a safe distance from structures and anything combustible, and stay with it until it's fully out. Keep water or an extinguisher handy. None of this is optional in dry weather, and the fire marshal can order any fire extinguished if it's smoky, unsafe or bothering the neighborhood.
