Marana allows recreational backyard fires in portable fire pits, chimineas, and outdoor fireplaces for cooking and warmth, provided they burn only clean fuels such as natural gas, propane, manufactured fire logs, or clean dry wood. Burning of household trash, yard waste, painted or treated lumber, plastics, or construction debris is prohibited under Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) and state air quality regulations (ARS 49-501). During periods of poor air quality or high fire danger, PDEQ may issue no-burn advisories that apply throughout Pima County including Marana. Northwest Fire District recommends maintaining at least 10 feet of clearance from structures and combustible materials for portable fire features. HOAs in Dove Mountain, Continental Ranch, and other communities may impose additional restrictions.
Open burning of prohibited materials: PDEQ violation with fines. Fire hazard conditions: Northwest Fire District enforcement.
