HF 3829 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Reporting on fires involving alternative energy systems required, and report required.

This bill requires local fire departments in Minnesota to report fires involving alternative energy systems, such as wind, solar, or geothermal installations, to the state fire marshal. The reports must include details about the fire's cause, damage, and any injuries or deaths, and must be submitted as soon as possible after the incident. The state fire marshal will then compile these reports annually and submit a summary to state legislative committees by February 15 each year. This law directly affects city and town fire chiefs, mayors, and town clerks who manage fire reporting, as well as state officials responsible for fire safety oversight.
