The state fire marshal shall prescribe the uniforms and equipment for the state fire marshal and any deputy state fire marshals.

(2) A person shall not sell, furnish, possess, wear, exhibit, display, or use a badge, patch, uniform, or facsimile of a badge, patch, or uniform of the state fire marshal or a deputy state fire marshal unless 1 or more of the following apply:

(a) The person is authorized to do so by the state fire marshal.

(b) The person is the state fire marshal or a deputy state fire marshal.

(c) The badge is a retirement badge and is in the possession of a retired state fire marshal or deputy state fire marshal.
