How many days prior to using a tar kettle must a permit be obtained?

A permit for using a tar kettle must be obtained at least two days in advance to ensure that appropriate safety measures and inspections are in place. This timeframe allows local authorities sufficient time to review the permit application, assess any potential fire hazards, and implement necessary safety guidelines. Obtaining the permit in advance helps to protect both workers and the surrounding community by ensuring that all precautions are taken to mitigate fire risks associated with the use of tar kettles, such as ensuring proper equipment and safety protocols are in place. The two-day requirement reflects a balance between urgency and thorough oversight by fire safety officials.
