Backyard recreational fires in Winter Park are permitted in approved containers or fire pits but must be attended, set back at least 25 feet from structures, and comply with any active burn bans.
Residents can enjoy small recreational fires for warmth or cooking. Portable chimineas, steel fire bowls, and masonry pits are acceptable. Fires should not produce smoke that crosses property lines into neighboring homes. Complaints from neighbors about smoke nuisance can result in an extinguish order from Winter Park Fire Rescue.
