In recent years, the conversation around fire safety in high-rise buildings has evolved significantly. One noteworthy development is the regulatory shift allowing the removal of fire hose cabinets in certain high-rise structures in Ontario.
Fire safety is a paramount concern in high-rise residential buildings. Ontario has strict building codes and regulations in place to ensure the safety of occupants in the event of a fire, and one critical aspect of this safety framework is the inspection, testing and maintenance of fire dampers.
Fire safety in high-rise residential buildings is a shared responsibility. While fire alarms, sprinklers, and other systems are crucial, trained fire wardens are also vital in ensuring the safety of residents during an emergency. Fire wardens help manage evacuations, prevent confusion, and make sure that fire safety procedures are followed correctly.
