What are the rules for fire pits?
What would summer be without making s’mores around a fire? But before you grab the chocolate and marshmallows be sure to check if your fire pit follows the guidelines of the Town.
According to the Town of Kindersley’s Fire Prevention Bylaw 23-09, below are the outlines of the regulations around the use and construction of fire pits with Town limits:
- Only the following materials are acceptable to burn:
- Charcoal
- Clean, non-treated wood
- Fires must be contained in a non-combustible receptacle made of concrete, brick, stones, or sheet metal, with a maximum diameter of 82 cm (32”).
- All receptacles must be located on private property at a distance of at least 3 m (9.8 ft) from any property line, building, or other combustible structure.
- Fire pits must be separated from grass and other vegetation by at least 40 cm (15.7”), using clean earth, sand, gravel, or another non-combustible medium.
Enjoy your s’mores!
