Editing Fire marshal (section)

== Australia ==

Australia uses similar terminology to the United Kingdom, with Fire Warden (or increasingly "Emergency Warden" or simply "Warden") being the preferred term used for civilians designated by a facility as responsible for managing fire and other emergencies in buildings.<ref>{{cite web |title=Emergency Planning in Facilities |url=https://futurafire.com/emergency-planning-committee/ |website=Futura Fire}}</ref>

The closest equivalent of the US Fire Marshal in [[New South Wales]] is the powers granted under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 for Fire Brigade officers to inspect the fire safety of a building if requested by the owner or occupier of a building, when requested by the responsible council authority or if the fire brigade has received a written complaint about the fire safety of the building.<ref>{{cite web |title=Fire brigades inspection powers |url=https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/act-1979-203#sec.9.32 |website=Legislation.nsw.gov}}</ref>
