[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]open burning without a permit is prohibited in Montgomery County, and fines of $500 per day may be imposed.  Chapter 3 of the Montgomery County Code and Maryland regulations (COMAR 26.11.07) place restrictions on open burning.

It is illegal in nearly every part of country. Your neighbor should just call 911 [/quote]
If MoCo didn't want fire pits, the rec dept wouldn't be renting them.[/quote]

Doesn’t mean legal

Home Depot in Bethesda sells round up which is illegal to use in MoCo [/quote]

OPEN BURNING IS NOT THE SAME AS FIRE PITS

...as has now been explained several times in this thread. [/quote]

Open burning is when you burn leaves in your yard and prohibited most places. A fire pit/outdoor fireplace is completely different (it is a contained fire in a stone or metal structure) and generally allowed. I don’t really know why we’re talking about MoCo, OP said they were in NoVa I think. Here is a breakdown from Arlington that is pretty typical:

But yes, open burning is not relevant here. [/quote]

So must be on non flammable surface. No grass 15 feet from anything flammable, must have a fire extinguisher, always be watched till completely out - just for starters. So I assume no one is wearing flammable  clothing within 15 feet either.

Seems no one does it legally [/quote]

Missed that “exception” part relevant to fire pits in SFHs, huh?

And also image you missed the relevant caveat in regard to bonfires contained in a pit as well.

But other than that, spot on! [/quote]

But if they roast marshmallows it is illegal as cooking over open flame rules in effect [/quote]
