Plan Ahead
Be prepared and benefit from the peace of mind that comes from knowing your building occupants understand what to do during a fire emergency - this is paramount for the safety and protection of occupants and property.
Provincial and National Fire Codes outline the need to have site-specific, approved fire safety plans for your premises.
Not having an approved or adequate fire safety plan could result in legal penalties. Property and business owners are encouraged to have an up-to-date fire safety plan for their premises for the safety of their occupants and responding fire department officials.
