Overview

Virginia has no regional air quality curtailment program for residential wood burning. The Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code (based on IFC with state amendments) governs fire features with local enforcement by city and county fire marshals and building departments. Northern Virginia (Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria) has stricter local rules due to proximity to DC air quality monitoring zones — verify with local authorities.
