Post Date:09/29/2025 1:23 PM

As fall arrives and fire pit season begins, here's what you need to know to stay safe and compliant:

Required: Get your recreational fire permit online at communityconnect.io/info/mn-savage.

Key Rules:

  • Fire pit must be under 3 feet wide and 3 feet tall.
  • Keep at least 25 feet away from buildings and flammable materials.
  • Adult supervision is required at all times.
  • Hours: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. only.
  • Burn only clean, dry firewood—no leaves, grass, lumber, or trash.
  • Fully extinguish the fire before leaving

Following these guidelines helps keep our community safe while you enjoy cozy fall evenings by the fire.
