Recreational Fires
When spring finally arrives, friends and families will begin to flock to the outdoors. Outdoor recreational fires are often a popular pastime when enjoying the backyard. The Burnsville Fire Department would like to remind residents of the City’s rules related to recreational fires. (Fogatas)

• A Recreational Fire Permit is required prior to burning. Permits are free, and can be accessed at www.burnsville.org/recfires.  
• Even with a permit, fires cannot be burned during windy or very dry conditions – or when a temporary burning ban is in place. Residents should call the Recreational Burning Hotline at 952-895-4666 before starting a fire
• Fires must be at least 25 feet from all buildings or combustible materials.
• Conditions or materials that could cause a fire to spread within 25 feet of a structure must be removed
• Fires must be constantly attended until the fire burns out completely or is extinguished.
• A charged garden hose or appropriate fire extinguisher should be on site.
• The only materials permitted in a recreational fire are wood from trees, small branches, brush or charcoal.
• Recreational fires must be immediately extinguished if they pose a fire safety risk, if they are not in compliance with the above, or if directed to do so by a police officer, firefighter, fire warden or Department of Natural Resources officer.
