Default Wood Burning Help Needed

I have some not so nice folks at some times next to me and I am worried about what his wood burning is going to do to my tomatoes and peppers.

From all the rain, of course the ground got saturated and flooded all the holes we have here from critters and so the snakes are exceptional bad this year.

Friday , about 11:30 pm his one dog started a crazy bark and wouldn't stop. He went out and killed another copperhead that was in the front yard by flowers on open dirt and had already killed early in the day a Coral snake and last night moving some pots just a few feet from my shade house I had another copperhead.

Next door has a pile of wood from where they cut down a huge Oak tree. He has had it all staked up nice and neat but it near the area where we are finding so many snakes. He told me last night that he is going to move it and start burning it.

This is a guy who starts fires and doesn't hang around to make sure they don't go anywhere's or burn the neighborhood woods down. Makes me so mad. Never has a bucket of water or a hose anywhere's.

He told me where he is planning on burning. About 15 -20 ' from my covered in plastic gh, plus where I have almost all my tomatoes which are covered in blossoms and starting to fruit.

Does, anybody know, what the heat from off will do to my tomatoes. Any idea how far away the fire is going to need to be to keep my plants safe. Telling him we have a burn ban going on is not going to stop him and he's to lazy to take to the dump which is only about 10 minutes away.

Of course he making sure the fire is plenty far enough away from his tomatoes and peppers.

I am massively afraid of our snakes here too , cuz if we get bitten it is lights out as no way would emt's arrive in time and don't even think there is any anti-venom around at nearest hospital.

I just paid to have a trailer load of wood debris away when electrical man replacing security light reached down and I thought he had found a plant he liked or something and he came up with a shedded snake skin instead and I couldn't safely burn it.
