What is the role of the Deputy State Fire Marshal in relation to LP Gas facilities?

The Deputy State Fire Marshal plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and compliance of LP Gas facilities by enforcing safety regulations. This involves monitoring operations to ensure they adhere to legal and safety standards, which is essential for protecting both the facility's employees and the public. The authority of the Deputy State Fire Marshal includes not just assessing compliance during inspections, but also providing guidance on best practices to minimize risks associated with the handling and storage of LP Gas.

The responsibilities are focused on maintaining safety within the industry rather than directly overseeing installations, issuing sales licenses, or conducting regular audits, which fall under different regulatory or administrative roles. By emphasizing the enforcement of safety regulations, the Deputy State Fire Marshal helps to prevent accidents and ensures that LP Gas facilities operate in a manner that safeguards lives and property.
