Outdoor burning rules in Ewa Gentry, HI — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Outdoor burning in Ewa Gentry is tightly regulated through Honolulu's Fire Code adoption of NFPA 1, and most backyard trash or yard-waste burning is effectively prohibited without permits.
ROH Chapter 20 adopts NFPA 1 open burning provisions, under which outdoor burning in Ewa Gentry requires the property owner's written permission and a letter to the Honolulu Fire Department at least 14 days before the event. Imu and cooking fires require a 15-minute call to the HFD Fire Communication Center before lighting. In parallel, the Hawaii Department of Health Clean Air Branch requires an open-burning permit for agricultural, land-clearing, or ceremonial fires. Residential trash or green-waste burning is generally not permitted given air-quality rules and Ewa's dry, downwind conditions.
Unpermitted burning may lead to HFD abatement, City fines, and separate State DOH air-quality penalties, with nuisance smoke complaints compounding exposure.
