Fire Prevention

The Coquitlam Fire/Rescue Department conducts inspections of all buildings other than private residences.

In an attempt to promote awareness and reduce the number of preventable fires, injuries and property damage, Coquitlam Fire/Rescue provides fire safety education programs.

The Coquitlam Fire/Rescue fire investigators possess specialized training in the science of fire and take an impartial lead role in determining the cause and origin of fires.

Fire Prevention Officers examine building plans, perform construction site inspections and provide occupancy approvals.

The Public Safety Inspection Program puts public safety first by taking an administrative approach to shutting down low-level residential grow operations.

The most common buildings requiring fire safety plans are ones that contain fire alarm systems, a high number of occupants or care & detention occupancies.

Here you will find the fees and charges for services provided in the Fire Prevention & Life Safety Bylaw.
