Fires On The Beach

Everyone loves a camp fire. One of the many joys of Flagler Beach is the ability to have these fires on the beach. However, as with any type of fire, there are rules and regulations regarding these fires. On this page, we hope to address any and all questions and/or concerns regarding fires on the beach.

To have a fire on the beach, we require the following:

  • Notification of time, date and location of the fire to the fire department prior to ignition.
  • Ensuring there are no active Burn Ban's within the city limits and/or county-wide.
  • Fire must be contained in a metal drum or similar container, as to not leave remains on the beach.
  • A hole must be dug to the depth of the estimated flame height (i.e. 4ft flame = 4 ft hole)
  • A means of extinguishment must be nearby. Examples of a means of extinguishment would be a bucket of water or a shovel.
  • The fire must by supervised at all times and must be completely out before leaving.
  • All wood containing nails and/or screws are not permitted.

We encourage anyone with questions on having fires on the beach contact the fire department at 386-517-2010. One of our friendly firefighters are more than happy to answer any and all questions you may have.
