Upon the receipt of an application, the Chief of the Fire Department shall make or cause to be made an investigation for the purpose of ascertaining whether the place at which it is desired or intended to keep, sell or give away explosives or any other item such as loaded shot shells or cartridges or percussion caps or primers is so situated that a license permit to keep the explosives or cartridges or caps or primers in the quantity desired would not be so dangerous as to constitute a nuisance or be a menace to the safety of the public or of adjoining property. The Chief shall also determine whether the conditions under which the explosives or cartridges or caps or primers or any of these items are to be kept or handled shall be of a nature as to provide the maximum of safety.
