Public Safety and Community Risk

Fire prevention 

Public Safety and Community Risk Officers, with the cooperation of property owners, engineers, architects, as well as in conjunction with the Township’s Building and Planning Departments, work diligently to correct hazards and increase fire safety awareness through a process of inspections, the development/permit approval process, plan reviews and enforcement.

Public education

Our Public Safety and Community Risk Officers also provide educational services predominantly focused on fire prevention and life safety to reduce and prevent fires from occurring. This is accomplished through in-person fire and life safety programs and via the tol.ca website, social media, bus shelter ads, emails and other digital formats.
