[Adopted 12-11-2017 by Ord. No. 891]
No person or restoration company shall engage in solicitation
at a fire scene, or appear and remain at a fire scene, unless summoned
by the owner, tenant, occupier or other person in control of the property
or a police officer of the Borough of Columbia.
Notwithstanding the prohibitions above, nothing in this section
shall prohibit the owner, occupier or other person in control of the
real property which is the subject of the fire scene from utilizing
a restoration service company chosen by the owner, tenant, occupier,
or other person of the real property after the property has been secured
by appropriate Borough officials, including those in the Fire and
Police Departments.
Whoever violates any of these provisions shall, upon conviction
in a summary proceeding, be sentenced for each violation to pay a
fine of not more than $600, together with cost of prosecution for
each violation, and, in default of the payment of such fines and costs,
to undergo imprisonment for not more than 30 days. Each violation
hereof that shall exist will constitute a separate violation and offense.
