Règlement concernant la prévention des incendies no 1509 (codification administrative) adopted bylaw

Fire-prevention bylaw whose own city-published description confirms a dedicated section on feux à ciel ouvert, feux de joie and foyers extérieurs (open-air fires, bonfires, outdoor fireplaces); a burn/fireworks permit citywide is required per the city's new-resident guide. PDF is scanned/image-based so specific articles could not be machine-read, but the city's own fire-safety page (https://sjsr.ca/securite-incendie/reglement/) explicitly attributes this content to bylaw
