No person shall set or maintain any fire not expressly permitted under Article
II hereof without first obtaining a written permit to do so. Permits shall, at all times, be kept on the premises designated therein and shall, at all times, be subject to inspection by the fire inspector, any officer of the Fire Department, the police or other Town officer.
No fee shall be charged for any permit or any inspection or other services
rendered in connection with the granting of a permit.
Any person desiring to set or maintain or to permit the setting or maintenance of any fire not expressly permitted by Article
II hereof shall obtain a permit therefor from the fire inspector, the Town Clerk (as his agent) or any other duly designated agent of the fire inspector. Application for such a permit may be made during regular business hours by telephone, personally or by letter.
Upon application and either with or without inspecting the place of
the proposed fire, the fire inspector or his agent may issue a written permit.
Authorization to burn shall not be effective until the applicant has actually
received a written permit therefor.
A permit for an uncontained fire or fires shall be issued for a specified
period of from one to 90 days; provided, however, that the fire inspector
may issue a permit for a longer period not exceeding one year if in a particular
case he shall find that a hardship would otherwise occur and also that proper
safeguards from the hazards of fire are provided. No permit shall have retroactive
effect. No permits shall be transferable.
