• Fire-extinguishing equipment (extinguisher, garden hose, or sand) must be readily available.
• Only clean burning wood can be used.
• The fire must be at least 25 feet from a combustible structure.
• Adult supervision is required from start to finish while having a recreational fire.
• All fires are subject to discontinuance by the Fire or Police Department.
• Recreational fires are not intended for disposing of yard debris.

Note: State-issued burning bans do not impact this policy. However, please be mindful that high winds and/or dry conditions require extra attention and safety for even the smallest fire.
