Outdoor burning rules in Paradise, NV — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Clark County has adopted the 2024 International Fire Code with Southern Nevada amendments under CCC Chapter 13.04. Open burning requires permission from the Fire Code Official, must be 50 feet from any structure, and bonfires are prohibited.
Clark County Code Chapter 13.04 adopts the International Fire Code (currently the 2024 edition with Southern Nevada Consensus Amendments) as the Fire Code of Clark County. Under IFC §307 (Open Burning), open burning is prohibited unless approved and permitted by the Fire Code Official, and the location for open burning must be not less than 50 feet from any structure. Smaller exceptions exist: portable outdoor fireplaces and approved containers can be as close as 15 feet from a structure; piles 3 feet or less in diameter and 2 feet or less in height can be 25 feet from a structure. Open burning must be constantly attended until extinguished, with at least one portable fire extinguisher (minimum 4-A rating) or equivalent suppression equipment (water hose, dirt, sand barrel) on site. Bonfires are explicitly prohibited. Open burning is also subject to Clark County Air Quality regulations limiting agricultural and brush burning.
Per CCC §13.04 + §1.08.010, fire code violations are misdemeanors carrying up to $1,000 fine and/or 6 months in the Clark County Detention Center. Each day a violation continues is a separate offense. Open burning that escapes and damages property may also trigger civil cost-recovery for fire-suppression expenses.
