Outdoor burning rules in Paradise, NV β also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance β set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Paradise is an unincorporated township in Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas Strip area) regulated by the Clark County Fire Department under the Clark County Fire Code (2018 IFC with local amendments). Residential recreational fires under 3 ft Γ 3 ft Γ 2 ft are allowed without a permit if attended, set 15 ft from structures, and fueled only with seasoned firewood or charcoal. Larger open burning needs both a Fire Department permit and a Clark County DAQ smoke-management approval.
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 Γ 3 ft Γ 2 ft (length Γ width Γ 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 Γ 3 ft Γ 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 Β§94. During declared Red Flag conditions or fire-restriction periods, recreational fires may be temporarily banned. Confirm current restrictions with CCFD before burning.
Operating a fire outside the size, setback, fuel, or attendance rules violates the Clark County Fire Code (2018 IFC Β§307). Fines under Clark County Fire Code and Air Quality Regulation Β§94 typically range from $100 to $1,000 per offense and may include cost recovery for CCFD response. Fires that escape can result in criminal charges and full civil liability for property damage. Repeat smoke or odor nuisances can be enforced as a public nuisance under Clark County Code Title 9.
