Are fire pits and bonfires allowed within the city limits? Are BBQ grills and fire pits allowed on apartment/condo balconies?
BBQ grills and fire pits are not allowed on balconies of condos or apartments.

Fire pits and contained-backyard fires are permitted within the City of Brentwood within these conditions: You may not burn trash; open burning other than for recreational use requires a permit (from the Planning and Development/Building Department at City Hall); the burn area cannot be larger than 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet high (if not contained within a fireplace or BBQ grill); recreational fire must be attended at all times with a garden hose or fire extinguisher present until fire is completely out. Additionally, recreational fire must be at least 25 feet away from area combustibles and structures; any fire-spread condition must be eliminated, and open burning may not endanger any adjacent property or structure.
