Recreational Fires <br />Increase your enjoyment of outdoor fires by knowing you’re doing <br />all you can to burn cleanly, safely, and responsibly for your family, <br />neighbors and community. <br /> <br />Recreational fires are restricted by size and material. A recreational <br />fire cannot exceed three feet in diameter nor shall it exceed three <br />feet in height (height of material stacked to burn). Only clean, dry, <br />wood can be burned. Wood means dry, clean fuels, twigs, <br />branches, limbs, manufactured fireplace logs, charcoal, or cord <br />wood. "Wood" does not include wood or wood based products that <br />is green with leaves or needles, rotten, wet, oil soaked, treated or <br />manufactured with paint, glue, preservatives or other chemicals. <br />Burning of leaves, grass and other yard waste is not allowed. <br /> <br />Be A Good Neighbor <br />Be a good neighbor when burning and consider your neighbors, as <br />well as wind direction. Often times this prevents unnecessary calls <br />to the fire department regarding smoke. <br /> <br />Cleaner Alternatives <br />Learn about your options before burning wood in your backyard. <br />Switching to natural gas or propane reduces harmful air pollutants. <br />Kits that convert existing fire rings and pits to natural gas or <br />propane burners are available from local retailers. <br /> <br />Brush Disposal <br />Burning is not intended for the purposes of clearing brush piles, <br />disposing of green leaved branches from tree trimming, or burning <br />of leaves.
