After a brief discussion earlier this month, the Surf City Borough Council agreed to let the municipal code regulating fire pits stand as is.  

Its reconsideration was driven by a letter from a resident who wrote to say a neighbor’s use of a fire pit was an inconvenience for him, and he requested the council toughen up the zoning ordinance regulating fire pits, Mayor Francis Hodgson said in bringing the issue to the table during the council’s Oct. 14 meeting.
