It is the purpose of this chapter to establish and impose restrictions upon the construction and operation of outdoor furnaces within the limits of the borough for the purpose of securing and promoting the public health, comfort, convenience, safety, welfare, and prosperity of the borough and its inhabitants. It is generally recognized that the types of fuel used and the scale and duration of the burning by such furnace create noxious and hazardous smoke, soot, fumes, odor, air pollution, particles, and other products of combustion that can be detrimental to citizens’ health, and can deprive neighboring residents of the enjoyment of their property or premises.
