Fire pit rules in Pomona, CA — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Recreational fires in Pomona must comply with LA County Fire Code and South Coast AQMD regulations. Open burning requires AQMD permits. Spare-the-air day restrictions apply throughout the South Coast Air Basin.
Pomona Municipal Code Chapter 22 (Fire Prevention) adopts the California Fire Code with local amendments. Under CFC Section 307, outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and similar devices at residential occupancies must comply with open burning standards. Fire clearance of at least 10 feet from structures and combustible materials is required. Gas-fueled (natural gas or propane) fire pits are allowed when approved by the Building Department. Wood-burning fire pits may be restricted on South Coast AQMD no-burn days. A fire extinguisher or other suppression equipment should be on site.
Violations of fire code are enforced by the Pomona Fire Division and Code Compliance. Operating fire pits on AQMD no-burn days may result in AQMD fines. Contact Code Compliance at 909-620-2374.
