In making such studies, investigations, inspections, or inquiries, the department may cooperate with any agency of the United States charged with the duty of enforcing any law securing safety against injury in any place of firefighter employment covered by this part or any agency or department of the state engaged in enforcing any law to ensure safety for firefighter employees.
