scout note
Section 28: an open-air fire needs a burning permit from the Fire Chief (one-time or up to 1 year). No permit for screened incinerators for garden waste, portable barbecues, or approved fire pits on private land or campgrounds. Venting forecast must be Good. Burning without a permit brings a Schedule A fine plus firefighting costs.
