Section 12
Power of Director General to abate fire-hazard in cases of urgency
If the Director General is satisfied that any fire-hazard existing in any premises—
(a)
constitutes an immediate and substantial danger of fire in the premises; or
(b)
is likely, if a fire breaks out in the premises, to increase substantially the risk to life or property that would normally arise in the event of a fire, the Director General may cause to be carried out in the premises such work as appears to him to be necessary to abate the fire-hazard and to prevent a recurrence thereof.
