Fire protection in Vancouver isn’t one-size-fits-all. With dense neighbourhoods, high-rise towers, heritage buildings, and rapidly expanding commercial developments, fire safety here requires a local, code-driven approach. Property owners need systems and services designed specifically for Vancouver’s building environment, enforcement practices, and regulatory requirements.
Otis Fire delivers Vancouver-focused fire protection services that help property owners stay compliant, reduce risk, and protect occupants with confidence.
Vancouver’s compact footprint and vertical growth create unique fire safety challenges. High-rise residential buildings, mixed-use developments, and busy commercial spaces demand reliable detection, suppression, and evacuation systems that function without failure during emergencies.
Even small deficiencies can escalate quickly when large numbers of occupants are involved.
In addition to BC Fire Code, Vancouver enforces its own municipal bylaws with strict inspection and documentation requirements. Understanding how local inspections work is critical for avoiding deficiencies, delays, or re-inspections that disrupt building operations.
Early detection is essential in Vancouver’s high-occupancy buildings. Otis Fire supports fire alarm systems that provide fast, reliable alerts to occupants and emergency responders.
Services include inspections, testing, maintenance, and performance verification to meet local expectations.
Fire sprinkler systems play a major role in controlling fires before they spread through multi-storey and mixed-use properties. Otis Fire services wet, dry, and pre-action sprinkler systems to ensure proper operation when needed most.
Portable fire extinguishers allow trained occupants or staff to control small fires early. Otis Fire supplies, inspects, recharges, and documents extinguishers in line with Vancouver inspection standards.
During power outages or smoke-filled conditions, emergency lighting and exit signage guide occupants to safety. Vancouver bylaws set strict requirements for illumination levels, battery duration, and placement.
Blocked exits, failed lights, or missing signage can lead to unsafe evacuations and inspection failures. Routine testing ensures all evacuation routes remain accessible and code-compliant year-round.
Many Vancouver properties are required to maintain a Fire Safety Plan that reflects how the building is actually used. Otis Fire develops plans aligned with Vancouver Fire Rescue Services expectations, including evacuation procedures, system responsibilities, and maintenance schedules.
Fire safety training reduces panic and improves response during emergencies. Otis Fire provides extinguisher training and evacuation education tailored to Vancouver workplaces and residential properties.
Otis Fire technicians are ASTTBC-certified and trained in NFPA, ULC, BC Fire Code, and Vancouver bylaws. Our local experience helps property owners navigate inspections smoothly and maintain compliance.
From downtown Vancouver to surrounding municipalities, Otis Fire delivers dependable inspections, clear reporting, and responsive support for properties of all sizes.
Fire protection in Vancouver demands more than general safety equipment. It requires locally informed services built around dense occupancy, strict bylaws, and complex building designs. Otis Fire provides Vancouver-focused fire protection services that support compliance, reduce risk, and protect lives.
Whether you manage a high-rise, commercial space, or mixed-use property, Otis Fire is your trusted partner for dependable fire protection across Vancouver.
