A. The Uniform Fire Code is amended and changed in the following respects:

Section 1.302. Before a permit may be issued, all applications for a permit required by the code shall be made to the division of fire prevention in such form and detail as it shall prescribe.

B. The Uniform Fire Code is amended by adding the following to Section 27.101:

It is unlawful for anyone to cause or permit an outside fire to be kindled or maintained on property under his control without first securing a written permit from the Fire Department. The Fire Department shall not issue such a permit if the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Ventilation Index is less than 200, or the State Forestry Burn Index is greater than 65, or the wind speed, as determined by the department, is greater than 10 mph and no permit shall authorize burning at a time when any such conditions exist. The Fire Department may rely upon information secured from the local offices of the above agencies and of the National Weather Service, and the permittee shall rely upon, and secure a determination from, the Department. Annual permits may be issued for barrel burning only and only for approved barrels on an approved site. All annual permits will expire on December 31 of the year issued. The Department is authorized to issue a written letter of instruction with each permit. Failure to comply with the requirements of the written letter of instruction shall be a violation of this chapter and may be the basis for the cancellation of the permit or the imposition of a fine pursuant to TMC 15.10.060.
