Name is David Birkinbine, My wife Haver Birkinbine Died June 10 2015 from COPD. I need Help advocating and enforcing the medical burn ban in cobb county Ga. You fill out a form from the Fire Marshalls office to have your doctor fill out that person applying should not be exposed to any type of smoke within a 1,000 foot of residence. I speak at every county commissioner meeting. the exception their fire dep't put into county code was to exempt, fire pit, out door fire places, fire bowls, chemises. these are people that live next to you. Out door open burning is burning , there is no such thing as clean wood. you are releasing toxins and chemical's into the open air. I'm going to continue the fight just thought I may get some help from you on suggestions. we have 741,421,00 people in cobb county, 12% of the smoke, 88, plus people, than 1 in 5 there are 17000 that have COPD and another 17000 that haven't been diagnosed. Now we have 42 medical burn bans and the health of these people are in danger because of bad code laws to make all happy this attitude puts the 42 in jeopardy with heath problem.
HELP!!!!!
