(a) 
Purpose of section. The purpose of this section is to prohibit or strictly control the burning of materials in the City because of the health risk from air and water pollution which results from such burning. It is felt that only by completely prohibiting the outside burning of rubbish, leaves and other combustibles can this unnecessary health risk and pollution be abated. This section is also adopted in the interests of safety and to avoid unnecessary property damage within the City.
(b) 
Prohibited acts. No person shall burn any leaves, trash, garbage, wood, grass, rubbish or other material or permit such burning to be done within the City upon any public street, court, alley or upon any premises, except as provided in Subsection (d).
(c) 
Incinerators. The use of outdoor incinerators, drums, barrels or other containers or outdoor or inside fireplaces for the burning of leaves, trash, garbage, wood, grass, rubbish or other materials is hereby prohibited, except as explicitly provided for in Subsection (d) of this section.
(d) 
Exceptions. Exceptions to the ban on burning are as follows:
(1) 
The ban on burning prohibition provided for in this section does not apply to the burning of charcoal or similar substances outdoors for noncommercial cooking, as long as such cooking is done without danger of spread of fire and in a grill or other cooking device.
(2) 
This section does not apply to fires set for practice and instruction of firefighters or for the testing of firefighting equipment.
(3) 
Campfires or commercial cooking fires are allowed only upon a permit issued by the Fire Chief or his designated representative. Such permit may only be issued upon application stating the limited time and limited area in which such campfires are to be built. Such application must describe the plan for supervision of such activities and must be signed by the person who will be responsible for such supervision. The Fire Chief or his designated representative has the express right to revoke any permits issued under this section.
(4) 
In all circumstances where burning is expressly allowed, such burning must be attended at all times. Further, such burning is specifically prohibited when the Fire Chief, by notice in the local newspaper, prohibits such due to extreme fire danger.
(5) 
The burning of rubbish, leaves, trash and other flammable material in the City from razed or demolished buildings is prohibited without a permit in writing issued by the Fire Chief. Such permit shall set forth the material to be burned, the time and date of the proposed burning and the location of the site upon which the burning will take place.
(6) 
This section does not apply to enclosed above ground fire pits meeting the NFPA-1 requirements listed in Subsection (e).
(e)

Portable fire pits shall not be used or kindled on any balcony or under any overhanging portion or within 10 feet of any structure.
(2) 
Portable fire pits must be placed on a noncombustible surface.
(3) 
Portable fire pits shall be listed by a nationally recognized testing organization or acceptance to AHJ.
