Medical Relief? Well, not really...

I learned last week at the fire station that a completed "Medical Relief" form means only that the lots adjacent to the requesting home will be denied burning permits.
As if the smoke didn't travel!
And it may be pretty obvious to the fire pit owner exactly who requested the medical relief, which may deter some suffering parties from filing the form, in fear of retribution.
In my home, we're not bothered by the smoke from "adjacent" properties.
We've even had a carbon monoxide detector set off by a fire pit further away.
This policy is about as silly as the old one restaurants used to use, with "smoking" and "non-smoking" tables in the same dining room.
