Official Compliance

Vancouver Fire & Rescue Services Requirements

"In accordance with the Fire By-law Division B, sentence 6.1.1.2.(1), Fire protection installations shall be maintained in operation condition."

— Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services (VFRS)

VFRS routinely finds buildings where important fire safety systems like fire alarms or sprinklers are turned off or not working. To keep things safe, they require a 24-hour fire watch until a qualified technician fixes and restores these systems to working condition.

Fire Watch Order Authority

A fire watch may be ordered by any uniform member of VFRS under the authority of the Fire By-law Division C, sentence 1.4.3.2.(3): "The Fire Chief and every Member may issue a Fire Watch Order in a form prescribed by the Fire Chief."

Who Can Perform Fire Watch?

The fire watch may be conducted by a professional fire watch service (like Regent Security), or by occupants of the building designated by the building owner(s) or the building's fire safety director.
