Small campfire-type fires are allowed in Brooklyn Park for recreational or religious purposes only. A change in the ordinance eliminates the requirement that recreational fires must be contained within a pit. Effective November 11, 2006, above-ground fire pits and chimineas may be used for recreational fire purposes (residents are cautioned to read and follow the manufacturer's recommendations!) No permit is required, however the Recreational Fire Requirements must be followed.

Open Burning Not Allowed
In Brooklyn Park, open burning requires a permit which is issued under very restrictive circumstances. (Exception-Recreational Fires-see below) There is a daily charge for the permit. Most people are not able to meet the requirements, which include:
- The location of burning shall not be within 600 feet from:
- any road or high power line
- any occupied residence other than those located on the property
If you wish to obtain a burn permit and believe you could qualify, please contact a Fire Inspector at our Fire Administration office to discuss your specific circumstances 763-493-8020.
