- Each temporary structure must have a validated California flame certificate sewn into each piece
of fabric installed. - All tents over 200 square feet and canopies of 400 square feet must have a permit issued from the Tulare Fire Prevention Bureau. Please contact Jim Duke, Tulare City Battalion Chief/Fire Marshal, at (559) 684-4302. There is no charge for this permit.

- All tenting of push-pole or bale ring type construction must be guyed out at a minimum of 8’ and not more than 10’. Any tent that does not conform to these guying practices will either be removed from the expo site or not allowed onto it prior to the expo.
