Open flames and barbeques are prohibited on the Broadwalk and beach (Chapters 97 & 99). Broward County Fire Prevention Code (NFPA 1) governs open burning. FL Administrative Code 5I-2 governs outdoor burning. Residential open burning in urban areas generally prohibited.
Open burning in Hollywood is regulated by Broward County Code of Ordinances Chapter 27, Article IX, the Florida Administrative Code, and the Florida Division of Forestry. The Broward County Resilient Environment Department (RED), Natural Resources Division requires notification prior to conducting any approved open burning. Recreational fires in contained devices using untreated wood may be allowed per state rules, but county and city ordinances may impose stricter requirements. Open burning of biological waste, hazardous waste, tires, rubber, treated wood, plastics, garbage, asphalt, and roofing material is strictly prohibited. Hollywood's dense urban development and coastal location severely limit open burning opportunities.
