A.
No person shall manufacture, transport, sell, use
or store dynamite, nitroglycerin, guncotton, giant powder, smokeless
powder, black powder or other explosive material, in any building
or structure or upon any premises, without a permit therefor issued
by the Fire Subcode Official. Such permit shall be in writing and
shall state the kind of explosives, the building or place where such
explosives will be manufactured, transported, sold or stored and the
maximum quantity which may be in such building or place at any one
time, and may contain special conditions regulating the manufacture,
transportation or storing of such explosives. No permit shall be granted
for the keeping or storing of more than five pounds of gun powder
in any building, unless such gun powder is to be kept in a magazine
made of fireproof material, or of wood covered with sheet iron, mounted
on wheels and kept securely locked except when necessarily opened
for use, in which case a permit may be granted for the keeping and
storing of not more than 50 pounds of gun powder. No permit shall
be granted for the storing or keeping of any dynamite, nitroglycerin,
giant powder or other explosives other than gun powder in any building
within 1,000 feet of any other building or structure in excess of
one pound; or for the keeping of more than 1,000 blasting caps within
1,000 feet of any other building or structure.
B.
No person, firm or corporation shall set off any charge
or blast of dynamite, nitroglycerin, giant powder, guncotton, smokeless
powder, black powder or other explosive material, unless a permit
shall first be obtained from the Fire Subcode Official subject to
such time and conditions as he shall deem necessary and specify with
each permit issued.
A.
No permit shall be issued until an application therefor,
in writing, has been made and filed with the Fire Subcode Official
in such form and detail and containing such information as he shall
require, and until the fee therefor shall have been paid.
B.
Upon receiving any application made in accordance with the preceding section, the Fire Subcode Official shall make an investigation of the person and premises and of the effect of such permission upon the public safety, and if he shall be of the opinion that such permit may be issued without endangering the public safety, he shall issue such permit either in the form applied for or with such modifications or subject to such conditions as he may deem necessary and proper. When the circumstances, conditions, limitations or surroundings of any business, occupation, trade, industry or any premises to which this Article V applies are unusual or such as render it impracticable to enforce all the provisions applicable thereto, the Fire Subcode Official may waive or modify such provisions to such extent as he may deem necessary in the premises, consistent with public safety.
C.
All permits issued shall state on their face to whom they are issued and the purpose thereof, together with any regulations and conditions imposed, and shall also state the length of time the same are to remain in force; provided, however, that no permit shall remain in force for more than one year from the date of issuance. Such permit shall be a mere revocable license and may be revoked by the Fire Subcode Official for any violation of the law, or this Article V, or for failure to comply with any regulation or condition imposed, or for noncompliance with any order or direction of the Fire Subcode Official.
As used in this Article V, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
A.
"Temporary permits" shall mean and refer to permits
for the doing of a particular thing and which will expire by their
terms within 30 days from date.
B.
"Continuing permits" shall mean permits which by their
terms remain in force for a longer period than 30 days, but in no
case exceeding one year.
The fee for a temporary permit shall be $5.
The fee for a continuing permit shall be the sum of $10. Each fee
for a permit shall accompany the application when made to the Fire
Subcode Official.
