Sec. 29-291b. State Fire Prevention Code: Variations, exemptions, equivalent
or alternate compliance. The State Fire Marshal may grant variations or exemptions
from, or approve equivalent or alternate compliance with, particular provisions of the
State Fire Prevention Code where strict compliance with such provisions would entail
practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship, or is otherwise adjudged unwarranted, provided any such variation or exemption or approved equivalent or alternate compliance
shall, in the opinion of the State Fire Marshal, secure the public safety. Any application
for a variation or exemption or equivalent or alternate compliance received by a local
fire marshal shall be forwarded to the State Fire Marshal by first class mail not later
than fifteen business days after the receipt of such application by the local fire marshal
and accompanied by a letter containing the local fire marshal's comments on the merits
of the application.
