Any fire on public or private property shall be promptly extinguished
by the local fire company having jurisdiction, either with or without
the consent of the property owner, if, in the opinion of the Fire
Marshal, or a representative of the fire company, or a Pennsylvania
police officer, such fire causes an imminent danger to persons or
property, or violates any other provisions of this chapter.
