Paradise, NV Fire Regulations: Outdoor Burning (2026)

Paradise is one of Clark County's largest unincorporated townships and is served by the Clark County Fire Department (CCFD) under the Clark County Fire Code (the 2018 International Fire Code with Clark County amendments). Recreational fires up to 3 ft × 3 ft × 2 ft (length × width × height) are allowed throughout unincorporated Clark County, including Paradise, without a permit. Each recreational fire must: use only seasoned dry firewood or charcoal (no lumber, treated wood, leaves, trash, or yard waste); stay at least 15 feet from any structure or combustible material; not be used for waste disposal; be attended at all times by a competent adult; have water or a fire extinguisher on site; and not cause smoke or odor that creates a nuisance for neighboring properties. Fire pits and chimineas must be operated per the manufacturer's instructions. Recreational fires larger than 3 ft × 3 ft × 2 ft require a written special permit from CCFD and a smoke-management approval from the Clark County Department of Air Quality. Open burning of waste, vegetation, or construction debris is prohibited under Clark County Air Quality Regulation §94. During declared Red Flag conditions or fire-restriction periods, recreational fires may be temporarily banned. Confirm current restrictions with CCFD before burning.
