Community Programs

It is the Brockville Fire Departments responsibility to educate the community on fire prevention and fire safety in order to prevent significant fire loss. The best way to reduce fire loss is through public education. The Brockville Fire Prevention Division uses several different programs to further educate the public on fire safety and fire prevention, in attempts to reduce fire loss.

Residential Home Inspection Program

The Residential Home Inspection Program ensures the required number of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are located properly and maintained in working condition in all of the homes in Brockville. The program encompasses all single family dwelling units within the city of Brockville, and is presented to the public as a voluntary inspection program. The Firefighters of the Brockville Fire Department as a crew are responsible for 500 entries per year/per crew, running from mid-May to mid-October. No initial charges are laid for the violation of the Ontario Fire Code, but they are brought to the attention of the home owner if found.
