Fire Ring Information
We need your help to ensure the Fire Ring program is successful. The Fire Rings were installed April 2007 as part of a pilot program to continue allowing fires at Ocean Beach. If you love fires at Ocean Beach, this is your opportunity to make a difference. To learn more, download the Ocean Beach Fire Ring Policy Brochure (PDF).
Why Fire Rings? The impacts of the beach fires are damaging to the ecosystem and to all of us who enjoy the beach. Nails, broken glass, hot coals, and debris left on the beach pose a threat to wildlife and our community.
The Fire Ring program is a collaborative effort of the National Park Service, San Francisco Surfrider Foundation, Ocean Beach Foundation, and Burners Without Borders, along with volunteer support from the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
The Golden Gate National Parks Volunteer Program is a cooperative parkwide effort of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the National Park Service, and the Presidio Trust
