BURNING
It is unlawful for any person to burn any material other than yard, garden or land clearing debris.
Any person burning yard, garden, or land clearing debris or who shall ignite a bonfire, shall constantly attend the fire and shall make adequate provisions to prevent the fire from spreading until it is completely extinguished. If a person uses a burn container, such container must have a screened lid covering with holes no larger than one inch to contain ash particles.
BONFIRES
No one may ignite a bonfire within 50 feet of a structure or combustible material. Any person planning a bonfire shall remove hazards within 50 feet of any structure that could cause the fire to spread. Anyone igniting a bonfire shall constantly attend such bonfire until it is completely extinguished. A person igniting a bonfire shall have available for immediate utilization a minimum of one portable fire extinguisher with a minimum 4-A rating or other approved on-site fire-extinguishing equipment, such as dirt, sand, water barrel, charged garden hose, or water truck and fire tools. Anyone igniting a bonfire shall position suppression tools within 25 feet of the bonfire and such tools must be capable of reaching all areas of the bonfire.

Any such restriction must include a start and stop date not to exceed 10 days.
The Mayor, and/or the Town Council, may set forth specific conditions for any burn restriction.
The Town shall post the restriction, including any conditions regarding the restriction, by displaying the same
