Depends where you are, time of year, what you are burning, and if you have a proper setup. Each one of these, if wrong, could get you in major trouble, but if they have 1. Fire Pit 2. Dry wood/leaves in some areas 3. the area isnt dry enough for a fire to be a major risk 4. Within city/town ordnance for where they can burn, then yeah, nothing the authorities can do.
