               Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of the fire prevention code adopted
               in this article or fail to comply therewith, who shall violate or fail to comply with
               any order made thereunder, who shall build in violation of any detailed statement
               of specifications or plans submitted and approved thereunder or any certificate or
               permit issued thereunder and from which no appeal has been taken, or who shall fail
               to comply with such an order as affirmed or modified by the fire marshal or by a court
               of competent jurisdiction within the time fixed in such order, shall severally for
               each and every such violation and noncompliance, respectively, be guilty of a misdemeanor,
               punishable by a fine of not more than $50.00 or by imprisonment for not more than
               30 days or by both such fine and imprisonment. The imposition of one penalty for any
               violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue, and all such persons
               shall be required to correct or remedy such violations or defects within a reasonable
               time; and when not otherwise specified, each ten days that prohibited conditions are
               maintained shall constitute a separate offense.

               Any violation may subject the offender to a civil penalty for the costs to the county
               to correct such violations in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare.
               Such penalty shall be assessed by the fire marshal and shall be supported by a written
               statement of costs incurred by the county to correct such violation. Such penalty
               shall be paid within ten days of notifications to the offender. If the offender does
               not pay the penalty within ten days after receiving notice, such penalty shall be
               recovered by the county in a civil action in the nature of debt.
