Out-of-doors burning of paper and other burnable materials is authorized in an approved-type incinerator and in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed in this chapter. Approved types of incinerators are:

A. A standard 55-gallon oil drum, 18 gauge; provided, that:

1. The bottom of the drum be perforated with sufficient holes to provide draft adequate for the complete burning of combustible materials;

2. The drum be raised above the ground and supported with noncombustible material so that there is adequate circulation for the draft to function; and

3. A screen top of not more than one-half-inch mesh is used to cover the open top of the drum whenever trash is being burned.

B. The National Fire Protection Association’s pamphlet number 82, current edition, pertaining to commercial and industrial incinerators, rubbish handling, and the installation and use of incinerators and rubbish chutes and disposal of rubbish is adopted as the standard to be used and by reference is made part of this chapter and has the force and effect as though set out in full in this chapter. Copies of pamphlet number 82 are available in the office of the city of Kodiak fire marshal. [Ord. 97-15 §2, 1997. Formerly §8.30.030].
