Soft coal shall be stored away from the brick work of boilers and furnaces and shall be kept only in a room, the partitions of which are of incombustible material or two-inch plank, or its equivalent. Such coal shall not be piled closer than 24 inches to combustible ceilings.
Wherever coal in storage shows indication of spontaneous ignition or gives off gases, it shall be the duty of the owner or agent, or person in charge or control of the premises where such coal is stored to turn over or overhaul such coal pile and remove all portions of the coal showing indication of ignition or coking. Such work shall be done under the supervision of the fire commissioner.
