My neighbor getting ready to torch it as I type. I was wondering if it was even legal to do this. We are in the state of Indiana.
Answer:
Not in a built-up neighborhood - it would be a hazard to surrounding buildings, and it would also cause pollution. If you live in the middle of nowhere, with nothing nearby, then you can probably get away with burning it.
I live in Indiana and from what I have understood, is you have to ask the local fire department and get a permit.
You need to consult with your local fire department regarding your neighbor's activities.
Generally, it is not legal to torch a structure without the proper permits and or safety equipment on hand if the fire gets out of control.
Good luck.
There are numerous legal aspects to this question. The safest way to approach this is prudence, until all doubt is resolved.
First, who owns title to the trailer. If it is not the "torcher's" property, then vandalism or arson charges may be considered.
Second, is the trailer on public or private property. If it is public property (like the street) then there could be additional issue pertaining to the risk or liability that the city or owner has.
Lastly, is it dangerous. The action may not be deemed safe and a legal proceeding may be brought forth just due to the negligence of the act; even if no one or nothing is damaged.
But you have to consider; is this the right way to dispose of this thing? Is there a better way? If there is, the right course of action, and the law will favor that way.
To legally burn it they would have to have all of the necessary permits, and I'd bet the fire Dept. would be standing by at the scene. If they aren't there, this is probably an illegal burn. Call the local station in your area and ask.
