Council may establish all necessary regulations to guard against the occurrence of fires, protect the property and lives of its citizens against damage and accidents resulting therefrom and for such purpose may establish and maintain a Fire Department, provide for the establishment and organization of fire engine and hose companies and rescue units, establish the hours of labor of the members of its Fire Department, and provide such bylaws and regulation for the government of such companies and their members as is necessary and proper.
Any inflammable or combustible materials not arranged or stored in such a manner as to afford reasonable safety against the danger of fire, or any matter stored or arranged in such a manner as to impede or prevent access to, or exit from such premises in case of fire, shall be ordered by the Fire Chief to be removed or rearranged in such manner as to eliminate any fire hazard. Such order shall be in writing and delivered to the owner, lessee or occupant of the premises.
If the Fire Chief finds upon inspection that the appliances within any premises, building or structure are wholly wanting or are inadequate in number, condition, size, arrangement or efficiency for the reasonable protection of the premises, against fire, he shall cause an order in writing to be delivered to the owner, lessee or occupant, requiring the installation, replacement or repair of appliances adequate for the reasonable protection of the premises.
Each owner, lessee or occupant of any premises, building or structure and of any person in control of the articles, materials, goods, wares and merchandise, or the owner thereof, shall comply with orders issued by the Fire Chief pursuant to Sections 1505.02 and 1505.03 with all reasonable dispatch and diligence. In the event such owner, lessee or occupant fails or refuses to comply with any order, the matter therein referred to may be removed or rearranged by the Fire Department.
