Section 87-6-8 - Incidental review and guidance by the State Fire Marshal8.1. The State Fire Marshal may enter onto the premises of any local fire department to observe and ensure compliance with the responsibilities of the local fire department under state law and the rules and policies of this Commission. This provision shall not be construed to compel the officers or members of a local fire department to be available to the State Fire Marshal at all times or to be present for any unscheduled visit by the State Fire Marshal or authorized representative.8.2. The Commission authorizes the State Fire Marshal to issue warning letters to a local fire department when, after incidental review or investigation, it appears that the local department has, by act or omission, violated the standards for recognition and safe operation as a fire department, but where those circumstances do not require review or disciplinary action by the Commission. In this circumstance, a letter of warning serves as advice and caution only; it shall not be considered a formal, disciplinary action under subsection 10.3. of this rule.
