Lubbock residents can enjoy outdoor fire pits in their backyards, but there are rules to follow. The city’s fire code requires that permanently installed outdoor fire pits be at least 10 feet away from any structure or combustible materials.
Fire Pit Regulations
Portable fire pits are not explicitly addressed in the code, so it’s best to check with Lubbock Fire Rescue before installing one. Additionally, burning trash in a fire pit is prohibited, and residents should only burn when weather conditions are safe.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, residents should follow the guidelines set by the city. This includes keeping a fire pit at a safe distance from structures and combustible materials, and only burning when weather conditions are favorable.
