The Town of Sidney Fire Inspectors are available to assist with the preparation of a Fire Safety Plan that is specific to your building, as requirements for a Fire Safety Plan vary based on the type occupancy.

The Fire Department encourages you to contact a Fire Inspector for guidance with the process.

As per the BC Fire Code, the following occupancies require a Fire Safety Plan:

  • All buildings required by the BC Building Code to have a Fire Alarm.
  • Areas used for storage of handling hazardous, flammable, or combustible liquids, such as fuel filling stations.
  • Occupancies where hazardous operations are taking place such as hot works, dust production, and spray application.
  • Demolition and construction sites.
