Even Trailer Parks Are Catching the Heat on Fire Pit Bans

I just came across an article from Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where a resident of the Newport West trailer park has been informed that she will no longer be able to use her fire pit.



Fire Chief, Bill Manis, informed residents that a new city ordinance "requires 30 feet of distance between fire pits, which can be no larger than three feet in diameter, and the nearest living quarters."

The resident is upset because after stating, "We are not trailer trash … we respect our homes like everyone else," Holley said. "Sometimes a little fire is a lot of solace. Im not a pyromaniac." She is also frustrated because she can no longer burn the wood she purchased after receiving permission from the former fire department inspector.

Once again, Warming Trends has a solution. CONTROLLABLE NATURAL GAS OR PROPANE BURNING SYSTEMS!

There are less safety and health hazards that come along with gas burning systems in relation to wood burning fire pits. You can control the height of the flame simply by turning a key valve, there is no harmful smoke pouring into the air and neighboring homes, you can turn it on and off with the flip of a switch and no potential fire hazard embers and ash spewing in to the air.

Simple solution right? Yes, yes it is.

To the city officials defense, the claim that safety is paramount and that are not discriminating against residents of trailer parks, rather the fact that trailer parks have so many homes relatively close to one another that outdoor fire pits can pose a safety and health risk to neighbors. Again, gas burning systems eliminate these risks.

So when you are ready to make the switch from wood burning to a natural gas or propane fire pit, let us know and well be happy to help you get started.
