Overview
Pennsylvania has no statewide air quality curtailment program for residential wood burning. Pennsylvania counties and municipalities adopt fire codes locally — many use the IFC but adoption version varies significantly. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have their own dense urban fire feature regulations. Building permits for permanent features are required at the local level.
