The state fire marshal may adopt safety rules for the storage, sale, and use of combustibles and explosives, not otherwise provided by law. Any person who willfully refuses to comply with the safety rules adopted by the state fire marshal is guilty of a class B misdemeanor. Rules adopted by the state fire marshal may not be more restrictive than those promulgated by the state and local building and fire codes and do not apply to the transportation of explosives and dangerous articles regulated by the interstate commerce commission. The state fire marshal may make reasonable provision for the application or nonapplication of all or any portion of the national fire codes.
