Don't Risk a Failed Inspection.

The City of Vancouver Fire Rescue Services (VFRS) performs regular audits on commercial properties in high-density areas like Mount Pleasant, Yaletown, and Downtown.

If your Fire Safety Plan is outdated, missing, or just a generic template, you risk fines and delays in your business license renewal. We draft site-specific plans that pass the rigorous VFRS Plan Review process the first time.

Commercial Safety FAQs

Will this plan help me get my Business License?

Yes. The City of Vancouver often places a "Hold" on business license applications until the Fire Department approves your safety plan. We fast-track this process to get your hold released.

Does my warehouse need a Spill Drill?

If you store specific quantities of flammable liquids or hazardous materials, VFRS requires a documented Spill Drill procedure in your plan. We write these based on your specific inventory.

How do I submit the plan to the City?

You don't need to. We handle the physical submission to the VFRS Plan Review Division and deal with any questions they have on your behalf.
