(4) UNATTENDED. As used under this section shall mean the neglect of any outdoor fire by a lack of supervision, abandonment by a responsible party, or failure to use reasonable and proper fire management precautions. Any failure to completely and fully extinguish all flames, embers, coals, sparks, or hot spots such that they cannot reignite shall be considered neglect and be unattended as defined herein.

This ban is specifically to include novelty "hot air devices" commonly known as "Wishlanterns", "Chinese Lanterns", "Kong Ming Lanterns", "Sky Lanterns", or any other similar device which is set on fire and released to the atmosphere, allowing the burning object to drift uncontrollably.
