“the California Fire Chiefs Association say they categorically do not support the proposed regulation because it will lead to a substantial increase in residential and wildland fires. They state: We are saddened an agency that exists only to protect the health and safety of Californians would choose to ignore fire safety and misrepresent the facts. Not surprisingly, other agencies are very much concerned. The National Association of State Fire Marshals remains very concerned that the California rule cannot be safely met. The United States Consumer Products Safety Commission has concerns over the potential for burn fire material hazards that remain unaddressed. The Missouri State Fire Marshal remains concerned that the California rules create a significant threat to the safety of people, property, and the environment. The National Marine Manufacturing Association is concerned that California's activities create marine safety issues that must be evaluated further before they are imposed on industry. That is right. This rule can even make boats unsafe. Generators and engines kept in boats in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation requiring these superheated catalytic converters is a boating disaster waiting to happen.”
