Pennsylvania Statutes Title 32 P.S. Forests, Waters and State Parks § 252. Failure of railroads to adopt necessary regulations; jurisdiction

Every steam and electric railroad company, owning or operating lines of railroad within the State, which shall neglect or refuse to put into effect such reasonable regulations for the prevention of forest fire as may be deemed necessary by the chief forest fire-warden and approved by the Public Service Commission,  1 shall forfeit and pay to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for each neglect or refusal, the sum of one hundred dollars, to be recovered by an action of assumpsit, instituted in the name of the Commonwealth by the Attorney General.

Every day's continuance in refusal to comply with such regulations, after a notice from the chief forest fire-warden and the lapse of a reasonable length of time for compliance therewith, which time shall be fixed in the notice, shall be a separate and distinct offense.
