Backyard recreational fires in Boynton Beach must be in approved containers, under 3 feet in diameter, and at least 25 feet from structures. Cooking fires on grills are exempt from size limits but must maintain 10 feet from combustibles.
Backyard fires follow the same NFPA 1 Section 10.11 rules as fire pits. Chimineas, outdoor fireplaces, and portable fire rings are permitted when used on non-combustible surfaces. Gas-fueled outdoor fireplaces may be placed as close as 5 feet from structures. Boynton Beach Fire Rescue responds to complaints and may order immediate extinguishment for unsafe setups. HOAs in gated communities such as Hunters Run and Indian Spring often ban all open flames regardless of city allowance.
Unsafe fire: warning and extinguishment order. Continued violation: $250 citation. Fire spreading to neighbor property: civil liability plus possible criminal negligence under FL §806.
