Fire pit rules in Largo, FL — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Largo follows the Florida Fire Prevention Code adopted under Chapter 13 of the city code, allowing small recreational fires when fuel size, clearance from structures, and adult supervision requirements are met.
Chapter 13 of the Largo Code of Ordinances adopts the Florida Fire Prevention Code under F.S. 633.202, which incorporates NFPA 1 standards for recreational fires. Recreational fires using clean firewood typically may not exceed 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height, must be at least 25 feet from any structure or combustible material, and must be attended at all times by a responsible adult with a means of extinguishment available. Portable outdoor fireplaces and chimineas must be at least 15 feet from structures. Bonfires and rubbish fires require a 50-foot setback or another distance approved by the Largo Fire Rescue, and Pinellas County burn bans suspend recreational burning during dry conditions.
Unattended or oversized fires can be ordered extinguished by the Fire Marshal, and violators face code-enforcement citations and civil penalties through the Largo Code Enforcement Board.
