(2) It shall be a defense to an action brought by the village for a violation of §§ 5-5-3(C) or 5-5-4 based on the existence of a drought burning ban, that the offender lacked actual knowledge that the ban was in effect, so long as the person promptly obeys an order of a police officer to extinguish the fire.
