Sec. 29-296. (Formerly Sec. 29-44). Variations or exemptions from code. The
State Fire Marshal may grant variations or exemptions from, or approve equivalent
or alternate compliance with, particular provisions of any regulation issued under the
provisions of section 29-292 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 within fifteen
business days of receipt by such local fire marshal and shall be accompanied by a letter
from such local fire marshal that shall include comments on the merits of the application.
