If no restrictions are in place, a permit is not needed for campfires measuring less than 48 inches in diameter. A campfire must be constructed in an area free of flammable materials (check for overhanging branches). Do not allow your campfire to spread beyond the established ring, pit, grate or container. Additionally, a shovel (or other fire tool) and a sufficient amount of water to extinguish the fire must be on site. Never leave a campfire unattended, and make sure it is DEAD OUT before vacating the site.
During the summer, as wild fire danger increases, special fire restrictions may be established by an authority having jurisdiction. Restrictions prohibit building, maintaining, attending or using a fire or campfire on public or private property.
