Initiated in 2016, the Fire Safety Maintenance Inspection (FSMI) Program supports Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency’s commitment to a safe community through protection of life, property, and the environment. The FSMI program is designed to be used by both building owners and municipal staff to ensure a transparent, predictable, and consistent inspection process.
The FSMI Program covers multiple building types: Bar/Restaurant, Residential Multi-Unit, Business/Personal Service, and Mercantile. It is structured to begin with a user-friendly checklist followed by a detailed guide. The documents are fillable, savable, and contain bookmarks and links for quick navigations. Each of the building types have a modified document that contains information and checklist items that are tailored to their requirements for fire safety.
