It defines key terms such as “exploding target,” “sky lantern,” and “restricted work,” and designates specific government employees as officers with varying levels of authority. The regulation establishes burning permit areas and specifies what constitutes an outdoor fire, emphasizing containment and supervision requirements. It restricts the use and handling of flammable objects and explosives during wildfire season unless authorized by permit. It also sets out detailed conditions for conducting restricted work, including vegetation management, debris disposal, and safe burning practices. Exceptions are provided for forestry operations and permit holders.
