Can I have a fire pit or chiminea in my yard?

Fire pits and chimineas are allowed, but must be conducted in a safe manner. Generally, the same safety guidelines for burn permits apply to fire pits (see the safety tips here). You do not need to call and request a permit for fire pits.  However, if it becomes a nuisance to surrounding neigbors (generally in the form of heavy smoke conditions), we may be called to respond and it may need to be extinguished.
