Fire pit rules in Daly City, CA — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Fire pits are effectively prohibited in Daly City due to BAAQMD open burning restrictions. Any outdoor burning — including backyard fire pits — is banned under BAAQMD Regulation 5, which covers the entire Bay Area.
Because Daly City is within the BAAQMD jurisdiction, outdoor recreational burning including fire pits, chimineas, and backyard burning is banned under BAAQMD Regulation 5. Even during permissive burn periods allowed in other California jurisdictions, residential recreational fire pits are not permitted in urban Bay Area jurisdictions like Daly City. Propane fire features may be permissible but are subject to local fire code review.
Illegal burning: $100 to $1,000. Causing fire: criminal charges possible. CA PRC §4423: up to $1,000 + 6 months.
