Fire Pit Rules
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVF&R) is Beaverton's fire authority and regulates recreational fires under the Oregon Fire Code (International Fire Code Section 307), which Beaverton adopts through Beaverton Code Chapter 8 (Fire Code adoption). A 'recreational fire' is limited to a fuel area no more than 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height, must be at least 25 feet from any structure or combustible material (15 feet for portable outdoor fireplaces), must be constantly attended, and must have an extinguisher or water source on hand. Only seasoned firewood may be burned - no yard debris, garbage, or treated wood.

Some RestrictionsOutdoor Burning
Backyard burning of yard debris is prohibited year-round throughout Beaverton because the city lies inside the permanent burn-ban boundary jointly enforced by Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVF&R) and Oregon DEQ under OAR 340-264-0060. Only properly conducted recreational fires (IFC 307.4) and approved barbecues are allowed. Land-clearing burns, demolition burns, and agricultural burns inside this boundary are not permitted without rare special variances. DEQ issues air-quality advisories that may suspend even recreational fires.
