Fire pit rules in Ewa Gentry, HI — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Ewa Gentry residents using backyard fire pits must follow Honolulu Fire Code open burning provisions, which require property owner permission and advance written notice to the Fire Department before any recreational or ceremonial fire.
Chapter 20 of the Revised Ordinances of Honolulu adopts the State Fire Code and NFPA 1, which governs recreational fires on the Ewa Plain. A fire pit used for a ceremonial or recreational fire must have written permission from the property owner, a letter of intent delivered to the Honolulu Fire Department at least 14 days in advance, and a 15-minute notification to the HFD Fire Communication Center immediately before lighting. Ewa Gentry's master-planned HOAs frequently impose additional restrictions on pit size, fuel, and smoke. Because the leeward Ewa Plain is dry and windy, HFD may refuse ignition during red-flag conditions.
Unpermitted open burning in Ewa Gentry can trigger HFD extinguishment orders, civil penalties, and separate HOA fines for covenant breaches.
