Redding adopts the California Fire Code through RMC Title 9. CFC §308.1.4 prohibits charcoal grills and large-cylinder gas grills on combustible balconies in buildings with three or more dwelling units. Single-family backyard use is generally allowed.
California Fire Code §308.1.4 prohibits open-flame cooking devices on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction in multi-family buildings (three or more units). One- and two-family dwellings are exempt, as are sprinklered balconies and decks. LP cylinders 1 pound or smaller are also exempt. Storage of larger LP cylinders inside any building is prohibited under CFC Chapter 61. For backyard BBQs, Redding Fire Department defensible-space rules under Public Resources Code §4291 apply. On Red Flag Warning days, solid-fuel (charcoal/wood) cooking may be temporarily restricted.
Operating a charcoal or large-cylinder gas BBQ on a multi-family balcony violates the California Fire Code, enforced by the Redding Fire Marshal. Wildfire ignitions from BBQs can trigger civil liability for suppression costs under Health & Safety Code §13009.
