Description:

Fires can happen anytime, anywhere with devastating outcomes. The Fire Inspection and Fire Safety Education program, the first of its kind in Canada, will provide you with vital training to protect people and properties from catastrophic fires before they start. You'll learn about everything from enforcement to education-the basis for all fire prevention activities. You'll gain an understanding of the growing role of fire prevention within the fire service, as well as the role of the fire service within the public and private sectors.



With a foundation in fire science and fire mathematics, you'll study a comprehensive range of relevant codes and legislation, such as the Ontario Fire Code, Fire Protection and Prevention Act, the Ontario Building Code and the Building Code Act. Our curriculum is aligned with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and when you graduate, you'll be eligible to write the NFPA exams to become Ontario certified. You'll also be eligible to write the Ontario Building Code exams required to qualify as Building Officials under the Building Code Act.
