Fire pit rules in Glen Cove, NY — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Glen Cove Chapter 147 (Fire Prevention) adopts the Nassau County Fire Prevention Code, which prohibits open burning of refuse, leaves and yard waste citywide. Recreational fires using clean, seasoned wood in a manufactured fire pit are permitted only when authorized by the Fire Inspector and conducted at least 25 feet from any structure under New York State Fire Code § 307.
Chapter 147-1 et seq. designates the Glen Cove Fire Inspector to enforce the Nassau County Fire Prevention Code and the NY State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Both codes prohibit open burning of household trash, construction debris and yard waste statewide (DEC Part 215). Recreational campfires and gas/propane fire pits are allowed when not creating a public nuisance or fire hazard. The Fire Inspector may issue 'No Burn' orders during high fire-danger periods and revoke any recreational fire that becomes a smoke or noise nuisance.
Violations of Chapter 147 are punishable under § 1-15 by fines up to $1,000 and/or 15 days in jail. NY State DEC Part 215 violations carry civil penalties up to $1,000 per day separately.
