"The state Department of Health Clean Air Branch has officially extended its ban on backyard burning of yard and household trash from Oahu only to all the islands.
Open burning has been illegal on Oahu since 1973 at a time when the Neighbor Islands remained predominantly rural, explained Lisa Young, environmental health specialist. Since then, the Neighbor Islands have become more urban, creating a greater nuisance and hazard from open backyard burning, she indicated."
