The MSFC (07) does not contain any regulations for immediate extinguishment if the smoke <br />from a recreational fire is a nuisance to an adjoining property. However, many cities have <br />language within their ordinance that requires the fire to be extinguished if someone complains <br />about the smoke. Furthermore, some local ordinances have limitations on recreational fires <br />when wind speeds exceed a specified amount (15 mph, 20 mph, etc.). For more information <br />please consult with your local city or fire official. <br />1.2 Local ordinances <br />Many cities choose to adopt ordinances that are more stringent than the information listed in <br />section 1.1. For this reason, it is important to check with your city before you have a recreational <br />fire since they may have an ordinance that goes above and beyond the requirements of the <br />MSFC. Compliance with the above information may not mean you are in compliance with all <br />local regulations. <br />If you have additional questions not answered in this document please contact the State Fire <br />Marshal Division at (651) 201-7200.
