UPGRADE YOUR DEVICE

Replace old solid fuel-burning equipment with cleaner EPA certified or pellet-fueled device or install natural gas or propane devices. Natural gas and propane devices are not subject to the Air District wood-burning rule.

The District offers incentives to purchase new, cleaner, certified devices through the Fireplace & Woodstove Change-Out Program. Apply for Change-Out Program

NO BURNING

Burning any solid fuel - including wood, pellets and manufactured wood (such as Duraflame logs) - is prohibited from midnight to midnight. Violations can result in fines. Report a Violation

Exemptions

You may use your wood-burning device on a prohibited day:

If you live in an area where there is no natural-gas service
If wood-burning is your only source of heat

Request an Exemption

NO BURNING UNLESS REGISTERED

If you have a registered clean burning device, you can burn wood inside your residence. Use of any unregistered wood-burning device is prohibited. Register My Device

BURNING DISCOURAGED

If you must burn, please ensure your firewood is clean, seasoned and dry. Unseasoned wood smolders and creates additional emissions.
Never burn trash, magazines, newspapers, plastics or other materials not designed to burn in fireplaces or stoves. Doing so is illegal and hazardous.
