  • Recreational burning is now prohibited, including in:
    • fire pits in parks, campgrounds, and yards
    • outdoor fireplaces
    • beach fire pits or bonfires
  • Only the use of charcoal or charcoal briquettes in a barbeque specific for that purpose and used over a non-combustible surface, such as concrete, is allowed.
