No person without a permit shall kindle, ignite, set, start, or maintain fires of any matter on pavement of any public road or street in the municipality, within any house or other structures within the municipality, or in or upon any other matter within the municipality except fires in a contained fireplace for outdoor cooking or for the burning of paper or wood in containers constructed to prevent the spread of such fires. All fires shall be attended until extinguished or safely covered.
