Open burning is prohibited in urban Clark County. Recreational fires are allowed only in approved fire pits, chimineas, or manufactured devices burning clean fuel, with a max 3 ft by 2 ft pile and an adult present.
Clark County Fire Department enforces the International Fire Code (IFC) Section 307 along with local air quality rules from the Department of Environment and Sustainability (formerly Air Quality). Open burning of yard waste, trash, or construction debris is prohibited in the urban air basin (Hydrographic Area 212), which includes Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Winchester, and Sunrise Manor. Recreational fires are permitted only in approved appliances: manufactured fire pits, chimineas, or solid-fuel devices meeting IFC 307.4.2, with a maximum fuel pile of 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet tall, located at least 15 feet from any structure or combustible material, and supervised by a competent adult with a means of extinguishment on hand. Only clean dry firewood, charcoal, or natural gas may be burned; burning leaves, plastic, treated lumber, or trash is prohibited and triggers air quality citations. Portable outdoor fireplaces and propane fire tables are exempt from the 15-foot setback if listed for closer placement by the manufacturer. During red-flag warnings or Stage 2 restrictions Clark County Fire can ban all open-flame recreational fires temporarily. Fireworks are separately regulated and consumer aerial fireworks are prohibited year-round outside the Fourth of July and New Years safe-and-sane periods.
Burning trash or yard waste: air quality citation up to 10,000 dollars per day. Fire pit under 15 ft from structure: IFC 307 citation. Unsupervised recreational fire: fire code violation and liability.
