Fire pit rules in Milton, WI — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Rock County has no county-wide fire-pit code; rules are set by your town, city or village. In the unincorporated towns, small recreational fires must be confined in a ring, barrel or pit, constantly attended, and follow town burn-permit rules and Wisconsin DNR burn restrictions.
Recreational and cooking fires in Rock County are governed at the town/municipal level. The Town of Fulton's fire-safety ordinance is a typical example: campfires and small bonfires for cooking, ceremony or recreation are allowed only if confined by a control device or structure such as a barrel, fire ring or fire pit, and the fire must be constantly attended by a competent person at least 18 years old until it is cold. Bonfires need Fire Chief approval. Because open burning statewide must conform to Wisconsin DNR rules (NR 429) and daily DNR burn restrictions, a fire pit is legal only when conditions and any required burn permit allow.
Enforced by the local fire department under town ordinance; unattended or out-of-compliance fires draw forfeitures and cost recovery for suppression. Amounts are set by each municipality.
