Fire pit rules in Ormond Beach, FL — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Residential fire pits in Ormond Beach are subject to the city's local fire prevention code amendments. Fire pits must be placed at a safe distance from structures and attended at all times. Beach bonfires are available through Volusia County's designated fire pit ring reservation system.
Ormond Beach allows recreational fires in portable or permanent fire pits under specific conditions. Pits must be at least 25 feet from any structure, fence, or combustible material, have a maximum diameter of 3 feet, and burn only clean, dry firewood — no trash, treated lumber, or yard waste. An adult must attend the fire at all times with an extinguishing method nearby. During winter/spring, the fire department may declare burn bans that prohibit all outdoor fires. The tropical/subtropical climate of Southeast influences the frequency and duration of fire restrictions.
Violations of fire pit rules carry fines of $100–$500. Fires during a declared burn ban are misdemeanors with fines up to $1,000 and potential criminal liability for any resulting damage.
