A permit to operate flame-producing devices on airport property must be on file with which agency?

• A. Los Angeles Fire Department
• B. Air Traffic Control Tower
• C. LAWA Security
• D. Airport Police

Answer: (A)

Open flames on airport property are a fire-safety issue, so the authority that issues and keeps track of permits for flame-producing devices is the fire department. The Los Angeles Fire Department handles fire codes, inspections, and fire-safety requirements (like ensuring proper clearances, extinguishers, and fire-watch procedures), and keeps those permits on file to verify that a flame-producing activity has been reviewed and approved. Air Traffic Control Tower is responsible for guiding aircraft in the air and coordinating movements, not for fire permits. LAWA Security and Airport Police manage security and safety matters, but they don’t issue or maintain permits for open flames.
