Any United States forest service supervisor or the secretary of agriculture and natural resources may issue a permit upon an application to any person to start an open fire within the Black Hills Forest Fire Protection District if the fire is not expected to endanger the life or property of another. The permit may be denied if the climatic conditions or location of the material to be burned is such that the burning would endanger the life or property of others. A permit may be issued subject to conditions and restrictions as determined necessary to prevent the spread of the fire permitted. A permit may be revoked upon the change of climatic or other conditions which is determined to make the burning unsafe.
