Reader's view: Fire pit pollutes the air

Such a beautiful day and the windows are opened and the fresh air comes in. Wait. All of a sudden, the air stinks. We run around, closing the windows and doors. My neighbors decided to stink up the air with their open fire pit.

Do they think they are helping air pollution? You can't smoke in bars because of secondhand smoke, but they can sit around their pits and smoke three cartons or more of wood. And stink up the neighborhood. Why aren't fire pits outlawed for air pollution?

It gets so bad sometimes my eyes burn, and I am 100 feet from them. It's a smell none of us at my house enjoy. We can't even sit outside.

How many others feel the same way?
