Description
The Provincial Legislation and Fire Code mandate are to ensure that there is a minimum level of fire and life safety for buildings and the occupants in them. The goal is to identify fire hazards so that a fire does not start. The consequences of a fire can result in injuries or death to the occupants; the loss of jobs and a negative economic business impact on the building owner.

An in-class exercise will provide the students with an opportunity to perform a Fire Code inspection and issue a Fire Safety Inspection Report/Order.
