(Source: Ord. 29, Amended: Ord. 254) 602. PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN OPEN FIRES ON BALCONIES 602.010. DECLARATION OF POLICY. The City Council for Little Canada has determined that the increasing popularity of open fire barbecues on apartment building balconies has created new fire hazards which endanger the health and safety of the residents of Little Canada and for which no safety precautions are provided in the existing municipal Code. It is hereby declared to be the intention of the Council to promulgate rules and controls which will effectively prevent tragedies from occuring in multiple dwellings as a result of such activities within Little Canada'sk boundaries. 602.020. PROHIBITED BURNING. It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to start, light, keep, burn, maintain or otherwise have an open fire on any balcony of any apartment building for the purpose of barbecuing, cooking or any other recreation purpose unless the burning receptacle is of such a type and design as to absolutely preclude the spilling out of any part of the burning materials, whether wood, charcoal, briquets or other type of fuel, onto the balcony floor or off of the balcony itself. Such receptacle or device shall be attached or affixed to the floor or wall or railing in such a way as to render it incapable of being tipped over or tilted so as to allow the burning contents to be spilled therefrom. In addition, all such receptacles or devices shall be covered sufficiently to prevent the spilling, blowing or drifting of sparks, embers or ashes and shall be equipped with legs at least 10 inches Page 79
