(A) Permit required. No person shall set on fire, or cause to be set on fire, any woods, grass or other combustible material, on his or her own property or that of another within the unplatted portion of the city limits by means whereof property of another, or any residence or other structure or thing of value may be endangered, without first having obtained permit therefor. Fee for the permit is established in § 32.49 of this code of ordinances.
(B) Conditions of permit. Upon application being made and later approved by the Mayor and Council, the Fire Marshal may issue a permit authorizing any person to set on fire any woods, grass or other combustible material after determining that all necessary precautions have been taken to protect life and property. Any such permit shall set out the time and place of burning and the area to be burned and show conformance with current State Pollution Control Agency procedures. No permit granted hereunder shall, in any way, relieve the person acting thereunder from civil liability for any damage resulting therefrom.
