Inspections & Reports

The focus of a fire inspection is to make the property owner or occupant aware of:

their responsibilities for maintaining fire safe buildings and
ways to prevent fire hazards.

The intent of fire inspections is that there will be a reduction in:

the number and severity of fires and
significant decrease in the risk to loss of life and property.

Fire Safety Plans

If your building requires a fire safety plan as listed under the Ontario Fire Code, Section 2.8 "Emergency Planning", our department has developed a Fire Safety Plan template to help you get started.

File Searches

In order to conduct a file search for a property, we require:

a letter from the person requesting the search,
- addressed to the attention of the Fire Chief, and
- identifying what is being requested and why.

In addition to the request letter, we also require authorization from the current owner giving us permission to conduct the file search.
