        100.31  FIRE AND TORNADO DRILLS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
         It shall be the duty of the state fire marshal and the fire
      marshal's designated subordinates to require all private and public
      school officials and teachers to conduct not less than four fire
      drills and not less than four tornado drills in all school buildings
      during each school year when school is in session; and to require the
      officials and teachers of all schools to keep all doors and exits of
      their respective rooms and buildings unlocked when occupied during
      school hours or when such areas are being used by the public at other
      times. Not less than two drills of each type shall be conducted
      between July 1 and December 31 of each year and not less than two
      drills of each type shall be conducted between January 1 and June 30
      of each year.
         Every school building with two or more classrooms shall have a
      warning system for fires of a type approved by the underwriters'
      laboratories and by the state fire marshal.  The warning system shall
      be used only for fire drills or as a warning for emergency.  Schools
      may modify the fire warning system for use as a tornado warning
      system or shall install a separate tornado warning system.  Every
      school building shall also be equipped with portable fire
      extinguishers, with the type, size and number in accordance with
      national fire protection association standards and approved by the
      state fire marshal.
         The state fire marshal or the fire marshal's deputies shall cause
      each public or private school, college or university to be inspected
      at least once every two years to determine whether each school meets
      the fire safety standards of this Code and is free from other fire
      hazards. Provided, however, that cities which employ fire department
      inspectors shall cause such inspections to be made.
