Fire pit rules in Delano, CA — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Outdoor burning in Delano is governed by the California Fire Code as adopted by the City and by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's Rule 4103 (Open Burning), which restricts when open burning is allowed.
Residential recreational fires in approved fire pits using clean dry wood are generally allowed under CFC §307, but burning of leaves, trash, or agricultural waste requires a permit and is subject to SJVAPCD No-Burn Day declarations. Delano lies in the South San Joaquin Valley Air Basin where wintertime PM2.5 burn restrictions are common from November through February.
SJVAPCD penalties for unlawful open burning start at $50 and escalate to $500+ for repeat offenses. The Kern County Fire Department can also cite under the California Fire Code.
