That's a load.
Withholding the permit only interferes with their right to start fires wherever they want in Gainesville. No matter what the conditions or reason, I highly doubt you can start a giant fire in a church parking lot (because they certainly aren't going to do it in the field beside the grass field beside the church).
It doesn't matter if you have 50 water trucks. I hope the next person who responds is a fire fighter to verify, so we can move on from this ridiculousness.
No one is infringing on his right to burn the Koran. He can do so freely at his place. Heck, invite the whole church over to his house after hours and do it in the fire place.
It wouldn't matter unless he actually wanted to make a public spectacle of himself - which he is doing a pretty good job of.
