I’ve heard that over here when the fireplace ban starts, people like me in the mountains with no access to natural gas will be excempted from the ban. Fire is pretty much my only heat source.
I can still burn wood down here if that happens but need to get a good stove.. not cheap.. we’ll see soon enough, I’m afraid.
Good thing for the exemption tho, it makes sense for the hill folk that live up there in the big woods.
