AI Summary

This bill requires local fire departments, or town officials if no fire department exists, to report any fires involving "alternative energy systems" to the state fire marshal, defining these systems as those that collect energy from sources like wind, solar, or geothermal for heating, cooling, or generating electricity. The reports must include details on the fire's cause, origin, circumstances, financial damage, and any injuries or fatalities, and should be submitted as soon as possible. The state fire marshal will then compile this information and submit an annual summary report by February 15th to legislative committees overseeing fire safety.
