(B) No person shall fail to extinguish any fire or burning embers, with water or other suitable means, in any hibachi, outdoor barbecue grill or other grill, broiler or oven of the domestic variety commonly used for outdoor cooking, or other similar utensil, after the use of such utensil for cooking has terminated.
