Required Fire Inspections for your Business

Scheduling your routine inspection (which occur in 12, 24 or 36 month intervals depending on your classification) in advance is not required. A Fire Inspector will stop by during normal business hours to conduct the inspection. If your business is on a 12 month inspection schedule it will likely happen around the same time as it did in 2024. 

Okotoks Fire & Rescue inspects all commercial properties in town to ensure emergency lighting, alarm and sprinkler systems are all operating optimally in the event of a fire or emergency. We will check to ensure access to emergency exits and any electrical/furnace rooms are accessible and that all fire extinguishers have been inspected annually and are in good working order. Ceiling tiles should be intact to prevent the spread of flames and smoke in the event of a fire.  

For more information on commercial fire inspections please contact Okotoks Fire & Rescue at 403-938-4066.
