The fire marshal may bring a summary proceeding in accordance with the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2591 through 2596 in the district court which has jurisdiction over the structure or movable to require closure of such during the pendency of proceedings before the board of review or after the board renders a final decision. The court shall order such immediate closure if it finds that public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires emergency action and incorporates a finding to such effect in its order. These proceedings shall be promptly instituted and determined.
