(a) Rules for Using Fires. No person shall start a fire in any park except small fires for culinary purpose in park grills, or privately owned grills, or fires in the places or designated areas approved by Rangers, except that the Council may, at its discretion, prohibit fires for limited periods at any location or for any purpose when necessary for the protection of park property. Any fire shall be continuously attended under the care of a competent person. All fires shall be put out by the person or persons starting or using the same before leaving the immediate vicinity of the fire. No fire shall be built within ten feet (10) of any tree or building, or beneath the branches of any trees or in any underbrush.
(b) Dumping of Ashes. The dumping of hot ashes or fire from picnic grills onto the grass or plants is prohibited. Hot ashes shall be deposited only in specified areas or designated receptacles, but not in picnic refuse receptacles.
(c) Portable Stoves or Grills. No portable stoves or grills shall be permitted in shelters.
(d) Lighted Matches, Cigars, Etc. No person shall throw away or discard any lighted match, cigar, or cigarette into trash receptacles. The improper discarding of any type of match, cigar, or cigarette, lighted or not lighted, within or adjacent to any park property shall be viewed as littering.
