The order does prohibit outdoor burning activities related to public health and safety such as firefighter training, gas and pipeline operations , planting and harvesting agricultural crops or prescribe burns.
The use of outdoor grills lifted off the ground are permitted, nor are Bar-B-Que establishments that routinely prepared food outdoors.
