Recreation Fires

Backyard fire pits are allowed in Rochester.  Before lighting the fire, let the Fire Department know you will be burning to prevent a visit from your local fire engine company.  Call Fire Dispatch at (507) 328-2830 and let them know the day and time you will be having a good time.

For safety tips and information on open burning vs. recreational fires, visit our Recreation Fires webpage.
