Mililani Town residents using backyard fire pits must secure written owner permission, a 14-day advance letter to the Honolulu Fire Department, and a 15-minute pre-ignition notification to HFD FCC under ROH Chapter 20.
Mililani Town, as part of the City and County of Honolulu, follows ROH Chapter 20, which adopts NFPA 1 (2021) open burning provisions. Recreational, decorative, or ceremonial fires, such as a backyard fire pit in Mililani Mauka or a community event fire, require written property owner permission, a letter to the AHJ (HFD) at least 14 days before the event, and a 15-minute pre-ignition call to HFD Fire Communication Center. Only clean dry wood or charcoal may be used; fires must be constantly attended and fully extinguished before leaving.
