Is it legal to have an open flame candle or oil lamp burning in public places such as restaurants? Is this enforced?

It is legal, according to New Hanover County Fire Rescue, although there are provisions in the North Carolina Fire Prevention Code that frame the requirements for open flame decorative devices. New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington have staff members who conduct fire inspections to enforce the requirements.
