1997 SESSION
SB 875 Investigations of explosions by local fire marshals.
Introduced by: Charles L. Waddell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Investigations by local fire marshals. Requires local fire marshals to investigate fires and explosions (current law requires fire investigations only) and to be compensated for such investigations as the local governing body may allow (also current law). As a result of expanding their investigative requirements, the fire marshals would also be authorized to summon witnesses in explosion cases pursuant to current Code authority granted to them in fire investigations.
