Under the provisions of KRS Chapter 227, the state fire marshal shall have
jurisdiction over all property in the state including property of public
postsecondary education institutions and property of any private college or
university that is licensed by the Council on Postsecondary Education as
provided for by KRS 164.945 to 164.947, insofar as it is necessary for the
administration and enforcement of any duty imposed on the office by law or
administrative regulation and all laws, ordinances, regulations, and orders
designed to protect the public from fire loss.
The state fire marshal or the state fire marshal's employee or appointee may,
without delay or advance notice and at all reasonable hours of the day or night,
enter in or upon any property defined under KRS 227.200 located on the
campus to make an inspection, investigation, or any other action necessary for
the purpose of preventing fire loss or determining the origin of any fire.
No person shall obstruct, hinder, or delay such an officer in the performance of
his or her duty.
Upon learning of a fire or threat of fire, a campus security authority designated
by the college or university president to be responsible and liable for reporting
shall immediately report each fire or threat of fire to the state fire marshal in
Frankfort and the local deputies, assistants, and employees appointed under
KRS 227.230. No fire scene located on a campus shall be cleared or cleaned
without the express consent of the state fire marshal to do so after a
representative of the state fire marshal has had an opportunity to investigate
the scene.
