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. The fire marshal may prescribe specific requirements to carry out the purpose of this section.

Upon complaint of any person or upon his own initiative when he thinks necessary, the fire marshal or any of his authorized representatives may inspect any tent being offered for sale or sold in this state or the premises of any establishment engaged in the manufacture of tents in this state for the purpose of determining compliance with this section. 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.
