Book excerpt: As provided by K.S.A. 31-137, municipal fire departments are empowered to enforce the provisions of K.S.A. 31-132 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., as well as any rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. Such enforcement includes the making of inspections in and upon all buildings and premises subject to the act and, if necessary, the issuance of cease and desist orders. (K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-139). As buildings subject to the act include all places in which people work, live or congregate from time to time, [K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-133(a)], the Topeka State Hospital, as such a place, would be subject to inspection by officials of the Topeka Fire Department. However, the department would not be able to enforce any provisions inconsistent with the rules and regulations adopted by the state fire marshal.
