The granting of General Approvals and Fire Permit applications are subject to a determination that the proposed work or operation will not create any undue fire hazard, and that it will conform to the provisions of the Los Angeles Fire Code and of other relevant laws. The issuance of the Fire Permit may be subject to conditions as may be necessary for the safeguarding of life and property from the hazards of fire, explosion, or panic.
