The Nahant Fire Department is issuing the following order under the authority of Section 10.10.2 of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Fire Safety Code:
Effective immediately, the use of open recreational and cooking fires including fire pits, chimineas, and outdoor fireplaces is prohibited until further notice. Cautious use of outdoor gas or propane cooking grills are still permitted at this time.
This includes no beach fire pits/bonfires on any Town beaches.
