Frisco, TX Fire Regulations: Outdoor Burning (2026)

City Code § 58-92(10) sets the rule for fire in city parks: fires are permitted only in enclosed fireplaces or grills provided for that purpose, and privately owned grills are only allowed on concrete surfaces within parks, keeping open flame off turf and mulch. Leaving a park area without extinguishing a fire is itself unlawful, and after use, coals must be thoroughly extinguished with water, cooled, and disposed of in a trash receptacle rather than left to smolder or dumped on the ground. The provision then folds in citywide burn-ban authority directly: during city-directed burn bans, the use of fire in parks is not permitted at all, overriding the normal fireplace-or-grill allowance until the ban is lifted.

This ties park fire use to the city's broader emergency and drought-response authority rather than treating parks as exempt from a burn ban declared elsewhere in the city. The rule sits within the same article that governs park firearms, fireworks, and general conduct, and enforcement runs through the parks and recreation department and the Frisco Police Department under § 58-96, which can eject a violator from the park on the spot in addition to any citation.
