Operative Text
Every park shall be equipped at all times with fire-extinguishing equipment in good working order, of such type, size and number and so located within the park as to satisfy applicable reasonable regulations of the local Fire Department. No open fires shall be permitted for burning of trash, rubbish or paper.
Under Sweden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 134 § 134-10, every mobile home or recreational park must maintain fire-extinguishing equipment that is functional and meets the type, size, quantity, and placement standards set by the local Fire Department. Additionally, open burning of trash, rubbish, or paper is prohibited throughout the park at all times. These two requirements work together to reduce fire hazards within park communities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 134-10, park operators are generally expected to conduct regular inspections of all fire-extinguishing equipment to confirm it remains in good working order and satisfies local Fire Department specifications for type, size, number, and placement. Compliant operators also enforce a strict no-open-burning policy for trash, rubbish, and paper across the entire park. Coordinating with the local Fire Department to confirm current equipment standards is a common practice among operators seeking to stay in compliance.
