Latest version.
  • All  public  vessels  shall  be so
      constructed that inflammable material about any machinery  or  apparatus
      involving  danger  of fire where such inflammable material is exposed to
      ignition, shall be shielded by some incombustible material so  that  the
      air  may  circulate  freely  between  such  material  and  the ignitable
      substances. Before granting a certificate of inspection,  the  inspector
      shall  require  that  all  necessary  provisions be made throughout such
      vessel as he may judge expedient to guard  against  loss  or  damage  by
      fire.
