Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 72 § 72-27, property owners and managers who maintain incinerators are generally expected to ensure the equipment is appropriately sized for its intended use, fitted with spark arrestors and auxiliary fuel-burning capability, and connected to compliant non-combustible flues or chimneys. Operators also keep service openings clear and accessible, and post durable, legible signs near those openings warning occupants not to dispose of highly flammable substances. Routine inspection of connections and flue passages helps ensure refuse moves freely and combustion remains complete.
