3) is it illegal

A1) Yes, absolutely. Yes. There's a ton of stuff that needs disposal.
A2) Yes, absolutely. Spring burns are very, very, very common.
A3) Yes, absolutely. Unless you take the time and get a permit.

One thing I would say though.....if you see a fire that really does look unsafe/irresponsible, there's nothing wrong with calling the MD Fire Hall and having someone go take a look (Don't call 911 though, lol).
