Recreational Fire Report – Ord 852 <br />Oct 11, 2010 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />In response to concerns raised by both Mounds View and the City of Blaine, the Fire <br />Department has updated its regulations pertaining to recreational fires. There are two <br />differences, the first being the height of the fire. Ordinance 852 limits the height of a fire to <br />no more than two feet while the Fire Department regulation allows for fires up to three feet. <br />The other difference is with the setback of freestanding manufactured fire pits. Ordinance <br />852 requires a minimum fifteen foot setback while the Fire Department regulations allow for <br />a ten foot setback, however the Fire Dept regulation requires that such devices be <br />equipped with side screens and a cover. Fire Chief Zikmund is aware of the differences. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 852, an <br />ordinance which incorporates the Fire Department’s regulations (as amended) on <br />recreational fires into the City Code, in Chapter 1002, Fire Code. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
