3. My smoke or CO detector is beeping, but nothing is wrong. Why is it beeping?

Detectors often beep because the batteries are low or the detector is faulty. Try changing the batteries. If that doesn’t work you may need to replace the detector. Detectors should be changed every 10 years and the batteries should be changed every six months.

4. Are fire pits or chimeneas allowed?

Recreational fire pits or chimeneas are allowed if they meet the following criteria. Fire pits can be no larger than 3 feet in diameter and must be at least 20 feet away from any combustible material. Chimeneas must also be 20 feet away from any combustible material. Burning of yard waste or trash in the pit or chimeneas is strictly prohibited.
