Recreational Fires

Recreational fires are allowed in the City of Stillwater without a permit if you conduct your burning following these regulations:

• Size is not to exceed 3’ in diameter and 2’ in height
• Must be contained within an approved fire pit
• Must be located at least 25’ from a structure or other combustible materials
• Must be attended at all times by an adult
• Only clean, dry wood may be used; no leaves or construction materials.
• Must have a garden hose connected or an extinguishing device readily available

For any fire larger than what is listed for a recreational fire, you will need to obtain a burning permit.

With both types of fires the Fire Department has the authority to cancel burning and extinguish the fire if they feel the fire is a public safety hazard or we have received complaints of nuisance smoke.
