Every person is responsible for their own fire safety. The damage caused by fire to your property and yourself is greatly reduced by ensuring that your home or building has the required fire protection systems and safety features. It is everyone’s responsibility to implement and practise the three lines of defence against fire: Prevention, Detection, Escape.
The Prevention and Public Education Division is responsible for:
- Fire Code enforcement
- Fire investigations
- Public education programs (i.e., schools, seniors, industrial fire safety)
- Public and media relations
- Supporting fire suppression personnel in major emergencies
