Fire pit rules in New Berlin, WI — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Rules are set by your city, village or town. In the Town of Waukesha, outside burning is only allowed in an enclosed incinerator located at least 20 feet from any structure, with a metal screen and flammable material cleared 3 feet from its base.
Waukesha County has no single countywide fire-pit ordinance; each municipality governs recreational fires. The Town of Waukesha's outdoor-fire ordinance (Sec. 5-2-8) requires that outside burning occur only in a metal or masonry incinerator that is completely enclosed except for a top loading opening and a lower draft opening, both covered with a metal screen no larger than one-half inch mesh. It must sit at least 20 feet from any structure with all grass and flammable material cleared 3 feet around the base. City of Waukesha allows recreational fire pits from 3 p.m. to midnight kept 25 feet from structures. Always confirm with your local fire department.
Setting a fire in violation, or without an approved incinerator, is subject to a forfeiture plus liability for all fire-suppression costs certified by the town clerk.
