Fire prevention — See Ch. 105.
It shall be unlawful for any person to kindle or use a fire for the
purpose of clearing land or burning logs, stumps, roots, brush, slash, fields
of dry grass, pasture, blueberry lands or any manufactured materials in the
Town of Alfred without first obtaining a written permit. Requests for permits
to burn may be obtained from the Fire Chief or the Town Forest Fire Wardens.
This shall not exempt any person from securing a permit to burn on his
own lands. Moisture, wind, time of day, length of burning period needed, sufficient
force and equipment and any other condition deemed necessary for the granting
of such permits for burning shall be at the discretion of the Fire Chief or
Town Forest Fire Wardens.
Any person to whom a burning permit is granted is in no way relieved
of legal responsibility if the fire escapes or causes damage to the property
of another.
Any person who violates any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction
thereof, be liable to the penalties set forth in 30-A M.R.S.A. § 4452.
