In an emergency, when the situation demands immediate action and the obtaining of a permit prior to the installing or altering of any electrical installation or equipment is impossible, then and in that event one may start such installation or repair work without first obtaining such permit; provided, however, that application shall be made for, and be obtained as soon as possible thereafter.
