Maple Grove, MN Fire Regulations: Outdoor Burning (2026)

The city amends Section 307 of the state fire code to require a permit from the fire chief for any open burning or recreational fire. Open burning of natural vegetative material within city limits needs its own permit; burning leaves, grass, garden debris, brush, noxious weeds, or diseased trees is flatly prohibited, as is burning material hauled in from elsewhere on the property. Open burns must sit at least 600 feet from any occupied structure on adjoining property, 100 feet from overhead power lines or fuel tanks, and 300 feet from piled combustible material, with wind under 20 mph.
