What is a fire inspection?

A fire inspection is a systematic evaluation of a building or property to assess its compliance with the Ontario Fire Code. During an inspection, Ottawa Fire Safety will examine various aspects of your property such as fire safety systems, fire separations, emergency exits and more.

Circumstances where fire code inspections are beneficial:

Before occupying / buying / selling buildings

Before purchasing property, it is highly recommended to conduct a fire inspection to ensure compliance with fire safety codes and to safeguard both your investment and the safety of the premises.

Renovations or additions

A thorough inspection is often beneficial when making significant changes to a building, such as adding new structures or modifying existing ones, to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Building Change of Use

If the building's purpose changes (e.g., from residential to commercial, convert a 3 unit building into a 4 unit building), a fire inspection may be required to assess safety measures.

Insurance requirements

Some insurance policies require periodic fire inspections to maintain coverage or lower premiums.
