Kris Kringle, I dont think anybody is trying to rain on your parade. But... burning wire is illegal no matter where you are in the United States. It has been illegal since I think the 1960s, along with burning tires and plastic.
Here is a press release from the el passo attorney's office outlining a man sentenced for burning wire:

You can not burn wire because it is in violation of the
federal Clean Air Act.
And I'm pretty sure burning wire is known to release carcinogens. My guess is that it is best to not do it.
