GovDoc Comm Notes: Fire rules are already set and enforced by County and the Fire Marshall. We can put a link to the FireWise site on the GLA website to inform landowners of the laws. Some of these are also unenforceable by the GLA.
5.02. Fire Rules. The following fire rules shall be binding upon every parcel and are the responsibility of each Landowner:
a. When the U.S. Forest Service or other public agency fire danger designation for the area is high, outdoor fires shall be burned only in an enclosed facility or receptacle having a properly operating and approved spark screen;
b. All fireplaces, whether inside a building or outdoors, shall have an approved spark screen covering the top of the chimney;
c. Chimneys and wood-burning-stove flues shall be cleaned regularly to reduce the hazard of house fires;
d. Any condition which creates a fire hazard shall not be permitted on a parcel. It is recommended that all structures be surrounded with an adequate fire-break;
e. A Landowner shall be liable to any damaged party for any negligently caused fires escaping from his parcel, except for those fires caused naturally by “act of God” or by an instrumentality outside of his control, such as lightning or a shorting power line crossing his property, etc.; and
f. All open fires or burning must be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Permits shall be obtained by Landowners when required.
