The local restrictions here are probably necessary because of
constant dry conditions and the subdivision being heavily forested
with houses built among the trees. The underbrush is like tinder.

Y'all need to do controlled burns to eliminate the fuel and eliminate
some of the brush. It does an excellent job around here with the
state promoted invasive weed, multiflora rose. The fire kills them
dead. They have a lot of oil in the bark, and it burns slowly, but
nicely. Natives like oak and hickory and gooseberries thrive on the
burned areas.
Around here DNR provides training and planning for controlled burn.
Either that or go out and pick up and burn or mulch/compost the
underbrush fuel.
