§1613. Tents; fire resistant
A. No person shall offer for sale or manufacture within this state, after January 1, 1975, any tent, regardless of the size or description thereof, unless such tent is made of a fire resistant material or has been treated to render it fire resistant.

Whenever the inspecting officer finds any incidence of noncompliance with this section he shall issue an appropriate order to assure compliance, to have the tents removed from the premise or to remedy the incidence of noncompliance in whatever manner he may deem appropriate.
C. Whoever fails to comply with an order of the fire marshal under the provisions of this section shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both. Each violation hereunder shall constitute a separate offense.
