        100.13  VIOLATIONS -- ORDERS.
         1.  If a person has violated or is violating a provision of this
      chapter or a rule adopted pursuant to this chapter, the state fire
      marshal, the chief of any fire department, or the fire prevention
      officer of a fire department organized under chapter 400 may issue an
      order directing the person to desist in the practice which
      constitutes the violation and to take corrective action as necessary
      to ensure that the violation will cease.  The order shall be in
      writing and shall specify a reasonable time by which the person shall
      comply with the order.  The person to whom the order is issued may
      appeal the order as provided in chapter 17A.  On appeal, the
      administrative law judge may affirm, modify, or vacate the order.
      Judicial review may be sought in accordance with chapter 17A.
         2.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, if
      the state fire marshal determines that an emergency exists respecting
      any matter affecting or likely to affect the public safety, the fire
      marshal may issue any order necessary to terminate the emergency
      without notice or hearing.  An emergency order is binding and
      effective immediately, until or unless the order is modified,
      vacated, or stayed at an administrative hearing or by a district
      court.
