§ 12587 Fire Marshal License Denial

Key Takeaways

  • •If a fire official says a place isn't safe, the owner might not get or keep their license.
  • •The report must be in writing to count as a reason to deny the license.
  • •This applies to new licenses and renewals.

Example

A restaurant owner wants to renew their license to keep operating.

If the fire marshal checks the restaurant and finds problems like blocked exits or broken fire alarms, they can write a report. This report can be used to stop the owner from getting their license renewed until they fix the problems.
