Whenever the Fire Marshal disapproves an application or refuses to grant a permit applied for, or when it is claimed that the provisions of the code do not apply or that the true intent and meaning of the code have been misconstrued or wrongly interpreted, the applicant may appeal in writing from the decision of the Fire Marshal to the Fire Chief within ten days from the date of the decision appealed. The Fire Chief will review the circumstances and either render an opinion or establish a Board of Appeals in compliance with Appendix A, attached to Ordinance OR-2132-19, of the International Fire Code, which after hearing all facts in the case, shall render a written judgment.
