Irving regulates outdoor fires in parks and residential areas. Open fires on park property are only allowed in designated areas. Burning materials producing toxic fumes is prohibited.
Irving prohibits open fires on park property except in designated areas such as public stoves, grills, fire pits, or other authorized facilities. Fires must never be left unattended and must be completely extinguished before departure. It is unlawful to burn materials that produce toxic fumes, including tires, plastic, or treated wood products. Residential outdoor fire pits and chimeneas should comply with the International Fire Code (2021 Edition) regarding setback distances from structures. Dallas County burn bans apply during drought conditions, overriding any local allowances for outdoor burning. The Irving Fire Marshal's office enforces outdoor fire regulations.
Violations carry fines. Leaving a fire unattended in a park is a separate offense. Burning banned materials carries additional penalties.
