Fire pit rules in Jurupa Valley, CA — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Jurupa Valley allows small recreational fires and fire pits under the 2025 California Fire Code, adopted by Ordinance No. 2025-24. Fires are capped at 3 feet across and 2 feet high, kept 25 feet from structures, with portable outdoor fireplaces allowed at 15 feet.
Jurupa Valley Municipal Code section 8.10.010, amended by Ordinance No. 2025-24 (effective January 1, 2026), adopts the 2025 California Fire Code, including Chapter 3, as the Fire Code of the City of Jurupa Valley. Fire prevention is enforced by the Riverside County Fire Department in cooperation with CAL FIRE, which serves the city by contract. Under CFC section 307.4.2 as applied by Riverside County Fire, a recreational fire is limited to a 3-foot total fuel-area diameter and 2-foot height, used for pleasure, religious, ceremonial, cooking, or warmth purposes, and must stay at least 25 feet from any structure or combustible material. SCAQMD Rule 444(h)(6) exempts recreational fires fueled by natural gas, propane, untreated wood, or charcoal from district burn-permit requirements.
Violations of the adopted fire code are punishable under City of Jurupa Valley ordinances per amended CFC section 109.3.7, and amended section 108.7 lets Riverside County Fire recover suppression and emergency-response costs from responsible parties under Health and Safety Code section 13009.
