These regulations apply to recreational fires in the City:
(a) Cooking fires, camp fires and recreational fires are permitted. All such fires must be contained within in area four feet or less in diameter and three feet or less in height in a fire pit, in an above ground commercially manufactured fire receptacle or in a masonry fireplace made for outdoor burning.
(b) No burning is allowed from 1:00 am to 6:00 am.
(c) Except for the use of receptacles or fireplaces described in division (a), any burning shall occur at least 25 feet from an existing structure and property line and shall be at the rear of any property, away from any street and sidewalk. In the event the dimensions of a lot are such that they will not permit compliance with this requirement, then the burning shall occur as close to the center of the property as is practicable behind the dwelling, an equal distance from the property line and the building.
(d) All burning shall occur under the supervision of an adult who shall remain present at the fire and shall at all times be responsible for controlling the fire and insuring that neither life nor property is endangered.
(e) No burning shall be permitted nor be allowed to continue where wind conditions exceed ten miles per hour or in any case where wind conditions create or are likely to create a nuisance or endanger persons or the property of anyone.
(f) A fire which endangers or becomes offensive to other persons or harmful to their property is a nuisance and shall promptly be extinguished.
