A vehicle permit is required to transport explosives within the District of Columbia. The DC Fire Marshal’s office Hazmat Inspections Branch will perform a vehicle safety inspection at a predetermined location, date, and time to ensure compliance is met before the permit is issued. All explosive and blasting agent vehicles will be escorted from the DC boarder to the approved location during the movement of said explosives by the authority having jurisdiction.
