LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla., Aug. 28 (UPI) -- A Florida man who installed a torch atop his 47-foot-tall flagpole says local officials have ordered him to apply for a permit.

Chris Kydes of Lighthouse Point said he has ignited the torch, a 14-foot propane ring burner, every night from his roof since he installed it two weeks ago, WPLG-TV, Miami, reported Friday.

We have to pull out a permit for everything else. Why should he be any different? I understand his point, but there's a rule for most things. Without rules and enforcement we would be killing each other for scraps.
