The State Forest Fire Warden may, at any time, bring a petition in writing to the Commissioner of Transportation, describing such portions of the right-of-way of any railroad company operating a railroad in this state, and land contiguous to such right-of-way, as, in the opinion of said forest fire warden, constitute fire hazards amounting to public menaces during dry seasons, and praying said commissioner to find whether or not such portions of such right-of-way and contiguous land constitute such fire hazards. Upon receipt of any such application, said commissioner shall fix a time and place of hearing and shall give notice thereof to the State Forest Fire Warden, the company operating such railroad and the mayor of the city, the warden of the borough or the first selectman of the town in which any such portion of right-of-way is located. The commissioner shall then determine what portions, if any, of the right-of-way and contiguous land described in such application constitute such fire hazards, and shall forthwith give written notice of its finding to all parties in interest.
