Fire safety isn’t something you “set and forget.” If you own or manage a residential, commercial, or industrial property, fire protection is an ongoing responsibility that directly impacts occupant safety, legal compliance, and asset protection. A truly effective approach goes beyond installing equipment it’s about managing fire safety across the entire life of your building.
Otis Fire supports property owners throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland with complete fire safety services designed to keep buildings compliant, prepared, and protected year after year.
Every property has unique fire risks. Tenant behavior, building layout, occupancy type, and system age all play a role. That’s why fire safety should be viewed as part of routine property management just like HVAC, electrical, or structural maintenance.
When systems aren’t regularly inspected or documented, even well-designed protection can fail during an emergency or inspection.
Fire safety works best when all systems support each other. Detection alerts occupants early. Suppression controls the fire. Emergency lighting guides evacuation. Extinguishers provide immediate response for small incidents.
If one layer fails, the entire safety chain weakens.
Codes and standards evolve. Equipment ages. Occupancies change. Complete fire safety means staying aligned with BC Fire Code, NFPA standards, and local bylaws not just passing inspections once, but consistently.
Fire extinguishers are often the first tool used in an emergency, but only if they’re functional and accessible. Missing inspections or expired units can create serious liability for property owners.
Otis Fire technicians inspect pressure levels, seals, physical condition, and placement. We also handle recharging, refilling, and hydrostatic testing when required, while maintaining proper service records for audits and insurance.
Fire alarms provide early warning, buying occupants time to evacuate safely. Regular inspection and testing ensures devices like smoke detectors, pull stations, horns, and strobes activate when they should.
Fire sprinkler systems control most fires before they spread, dramatically reducing damage and downtime. Otis Fire services wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge systems with scheduled inspections and testing.
During fires or power failures, emergency lighting guides occupants to exits. Batteries, illumination levels, and run times must meet strict code requirements to be effective.
Most commercial and multi-residential properties require a documented Fire Safety Plan. These plans outline evacuation procedures, system responsibilities, and hazard management tailored to how the building is actually used.
A clear plan, paired with accurate inspection records, makes fire department inspections smoother and reduces the risk of deficiencies, fines, or operational delays.
All services are performed by ASTTBC-certified professionals trained in NFPA, ULC, BC Fire Code, and municipal requirements. We don’t just flag issues—we explain them and help you fix them.
From new installations to ongoing inspections and long-term planning, Otis Fire supports property owners at every stage. We provide reminders, clear reporting, and reliable service so nothing slips through the cracks.
Complete fire safety for your property isn’t about a single system it’s about managing detection, suppression, emergency lighting, extinguishers, and planning as one coordinated strategy.
