When must any change of corporate officers be reported to the state fire marshal?

The requirement to report any changes in corporate officers to the state fire marshal within 14 days is grounded in the need for maintaining an up-to-date and accurate record of individuals responsible for fire safety compliance within a corporate entity. This ensures that the state fire marshal can effectively communicate with the appropriate personnel regarding fire safety regulations, inspections, and any necessary follow-up actions.

Such reporting timelines are crucial for regulatory oversight and contribute to the overall safety framework, allowing for swift updates to official records without significant delays. This 14-day period strikes a balance between prompt reporting and allowing sufficient time for organizations to communicate internally about officer changes.

Timely notification helps ensure that fire safety requirements are adhered to by those currently in leadership roles, facilitating better enforcement of regulations that safeguard the community.
