About this statute
Bush fires and similar fires are prohibited, except for preventive and early fires at the start of the dry season under local custom or regulation. The Territory Administrator must set the annual period when those fires may be carried out. Outside the stated period, any person or indigenous authority may burn the bush only with written authorization from the Territory Administrator or delegate, and only on the places, dates, and conditions set in that authorization. People may burn standing crops or dead cover on land where they have legally recognized rights, unless the responsible authorities expressly forbid it. Les feux tardifs sont interdits sans informer d’abord les voisins et sans coupe-feu suffisant; les contre-feux restent permis pour lutter contre un incendie imminent menaçant un périmètre à protéger. Infractions to this provision are punishable by a fine of up to 2,000 francs, imprisonment of up to 2 months, or one of those penalties only.
