Fire Prevention - Fire Safety Plans
The implementation of a Fire Safety Plan helps to assure effective utilization of Life Safety features in a building, to protect people from fire. The required Fire Safety Plan should be designed to suit the resources of each individual building or complex of buildings.
Fire Safety Plans are intended to assist the owner of a building with the basic essentials for the safety of all occupants. They are also designed to ensure an orderly evacuation at the time of an emergency and to provide a maximum degree of flexibility to achieve the necessary Fire Safety for the building.
The Ontario Fire Code requires most buildings to have an approved fire safety plan. Fire Safety Plans required by the Ontario Fire Code must be approved by the Chief Fire Official prior to implementing.
To assist you with developing your building/businesses fire safety plan Whitchurch-Stouffville Fire & Emergency Services has created Fire Safety Plan templates for buildings with single stage fire alarm systems and buildings with out fire alarm systems.
Fire Safety Plan Templates
If your building is equipped with a two-stage fire alarm system or your building does not fall under the two templates listed above, please contact the Fire Prevention Division at 905 640-9595 for additional assistance.
