When, in the opinion of the Fire Chief, or his or her designee, an extreme fire hazard exists that constitutes an immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, the city may require the removal of such hazards within 72 hours after the posting of a notice to abate on the affected parcel without the need for a City Council resolution. Nothing herein shall authorize the entry upon private property without the owner's consent or possession of an abatement or inspection warrant, unless: (1) the Fire Chief, or his or her designee, determines that there is an immediate and imminent threat of injury to any person if immediate action is not taken, or (2) neither consent nor a warrant is otherwise required by law.
