No person, firm or corporation shall be entitled to start any
open fire for the purpose of burning grass, rubbish, garbage, wood,
lumber, or any other combustible material in the city without first
obtaining a permit from the city fire marshal. Such permit may be
issued by the fire marshal after written application showing the place
and time of proposed burning and by exhibiting the material proposed
to be burned. The fire marshal may issue such burning permit if in
his opinion such burning will not constitute a fire hazard or health
hazard to the adjacent property or its inhabitants. In making such
determination, the fire marshal shall take into consideration the
type of material to be burned, its proximity to other persons and
the quantity of property which is susceptible of being burned on the
premises in question.
