Fire Safety Plans

A Fire Safety Plan (FSP) is a detailed document that deals with fire-related safety at a specific building or property. The FSP is a reference manual outlining the various fire safety practices employed by the owner and occupants of each facility. FSPs are a requirement of Section 2.8 of the Ontario Fire Code, O.Reg.213/07.

How do Fire Safety Plans apply to the Town of Grimsby?

The Town of Grimsby owns a number of facilities that require an approved FSP according to the Ontario fire code regulations. Each facilities has its own FSP document in place.

Who has Responsibilities under the Fire Safety Plans?

The Town's FSPs define distinct responsibilities for the various persons/parties who maintain and/or occupy each particular facility. The various parties include:

• Town Council
• Various levels of Town management and staff
• User groups which lease and/or occupy Town facilities on a regular basis
• Event organizers or persons who rent a Town facility on an individual basis

Each of the parties noted above are required to be familiar with and adhere to the requirements of the applicable FSP for their facility.

Each Town facility posts a hard copy of its FSPs; downloadable public versions are also available. A copy of each FSP is also available for review (upon request) at the Grimsby Town Hall, located at 160 Livingston Avenue.
