The Fire Commissioner shall examine all persons who desire to seek employment as special stage firemen or fireguards as to their qualifications and fitness for the duties for which they seek to be employed. If the Fire Commissioner finds any such applicant to be competent, the Fire Commissioner shall, upon payment of $40.00 by the applicant to the Comptroller, issue a license to such applicant. The Fire Commissioner may revoke any such license at any time when the Fire Commissioner finds such special stage fireman or fireguard to be incompetent, inefficient, or neglectful of the duties required under this Article XII. Provided, however, that the Fire Commissioner shall give the licensee a reasonable opportunity to be heard before revocation. No person shall employ anyone as a special fireman or fire guard unless the person so employed is licensed as required in this section.
