Forestry: internal combustion engines: industrial operations: fire toolbox.

Summary

The bill amends the Public Resources Code to require any industrial activity using internal‑combustion equipment near forest, brush or grassland to have a sealed fire toolbox on site. The toolbox must contain water‑filled and additional extinguishers, axes, McLeod tools, shovels and, when needed, chainsaws or timber‑felling tools so every worker can fight a fire. Emergency crews and certain utility service vehicles are exempt.
