Fire Inspection
- Created: Tuesday, 28 April 2015 10:39
During an inspection, the Fire Inspector evaluates a building or structure and determines what measures are necessary to meet a reasonable level of life safety. A Fire Safety Inspection program is vital to our community. We ask you to assist our department in achieving the highest level of fire and life safety in our area.
Our fire inspectors identify unsafe conditions or deficiencies in buildings and structures related to current bylaws, codes and standards. These unsafe conditions include but are not limited to, obstructed exits, inoperative fire alarms and sprinkler systems, and improper storage.
An inspection should inspire property and business owners to take action to reduce fire hazards. The Fire Inspector also educates owners and building occupants regarding the importance of fire safety.
For more information or to arrange for a fire inspection, please contact the Inspection Department at 902-637-2015.

The Building Inspection Department is responsible for the regulation of construction, alteration, and repair or demolition of buildings and structures within the Municipality. All Bylaws are enforced for the protection of residents and businesses.
Land use planning, subdivision and zoning are also administered by the Municipality of Barrington.
You should always inquire with the Inspection Department before any type of construction begins. All construction minor or other must meet the requirements of the National Building Code.
