The regulations adopting standards by reference may include such modifications of these standards as the commissioner deems necessary. The regulations at a minimum shall assure that all necessary safety precautions are taken during live fire training exercises. They shall include a safety checklist for fire service instructors in charge which shall be completed before any live fire training exercise proceeds.
b. A fire service training organization shall not conduct a live fire training exercise until it has received a permit issued by the division. In its application for a permit, an organization shall provide such information as the commissioner shall specify, including, but not limited to, the course objective, the lesson plan, and the facility or site. The division shall either issue or deny the permit within 10 working days. If a permit is denied, the division shall inform the applicant of the reason for the denial and of any measures necessary to bring the application into compliance.
