[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rockville
Centre 2-22-1971 by L.L. No. 1-1971 as
Ch. 31 of the 1971 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is hereby declared and found that the burning of leaves, trees, bushes,
paper, rubbish or any other combustible material in an open fire constitutes
a health and fire hazard and causes contamination of air with resultant harmful
effects upon persons suffering from respiratory ailments.
As used in this chapter, shall mean any fire lighted and maintained
other than a fire in stove, furnace or incinerator designed and constructed
for the burning of material. The term "open fire" shall not include barbecue
pits, outdoor fireplaces and grills designed and used for the purpose of cooking
food for home consumption, and shall not include the use of a fire in a fireplace
by recognized organizations such as Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts or Fire Department,
where such fireplace is used under the constant supervision of responsible
officials of such organizations.
It shall be unlawful for any person to light, permit or maintain an
open fire in or upon any premises, streets, roads, highways, sidewalks or
public places within the Village.
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to the burning of material
by any agency of the Village when such burning is done under the supervision
of the officials in charge of such agency.
