LANIER COUNTY, Georgia – Last week a real live example of why open burning rules are important to follow occurred.  A Lakeland resident chose to use a burn barrel and burn some manmade materials.  The resident used a burn barrel and, as the Lanier County News learned, included a battery as part of the man made material he intended to burn.  Worse, the citizen used an accelerant, gasoline, to expedite burning of the man made waste.
