HRS §132-13
Penalty for fire safety violations
This section says that anyone in charge of a building or property who breaks fire safety laws or ignores orders from the fire chief or fire marshal can be fined or jailed. Each day the problem continues counts as a new violation, and counties can add civil penalties.
