Plain English: what this chapter covers
This short chapter sets up the fire department and spells out Ashburn's burning rules. You need a free permit from Ashburn Fire and Emergency Services to burn natural vegetation, the burn has to be well away from houses and streets, and you can never burn trash, tires, plastics or building materials.
The presiding officer of the Ashburn Municipal Court shall have the power and authority to try all offenses and violations against the laws and of the city and, upon conviction, to punish offenders by a fine not exceeding $1,000.00, by imprisonment for any period not exceeding six months, or by compulsory work on the streets or upon any of the public works of the city for any period not exceeding six months, or by any combination of such penalties, as the presiding officer of the court may decide.
