If you’ve ever wondered what a West Vancouver fire safety plan is supposed to look like, the West Vancouver Fire Department has made it easy — they published a drawing sample right on their website. And the drawings they chose as their official example? They were made by us.
Every page of the West Vancouver Fire Department’s Fire Safety Plan Drawing Sample carries the GetFirePlan.com credit. The sample — a site plan and two floor plans for a commercial property on Marine Drive — is what West Vancouver Fire & Rescue points building owners to when they want to understand the standard they need to meet.
What’s in the Sample
The drawing package includes three pages: a site plan showing the full property and street-level fire access, a Level 1 floor plan, and a Level 2 floor plan. Each drawing is CAD-designed with a full legend and shows the exact elements West Vancouver Fire & Rescue needs to see — fire exits, fire extinguisher locations, pull stations, the fire alarm control panel, sprinkler and water shut-offs, the fire department key box, fire department connection, gas shut-off, hydrant locations, and the assembly area.
This is what a compliant, approval-ready fire safety plan drawing looks like. Not a rough sketch. Not a hand-marked floor plan. A properly drawn, properly labelled set of plans that a firefighter can read under pressure.
We’re Also on West Vancouver’s Approved Fire Safety Planners List
Beyond the drawing sample, GetFirePlan.com is also listed on West Vancouver Fire & Rescue’s official Approved Fire Safety Planners list — one of only a handful of companies in the Lower Mainland recognized by the department. That means when you hire us for a West Vancouver fire safety plan, you’re working with a provider the fire department already knows and approves.
Why West Vancouver’s Standard Is Worth Paying Attention To
West Vancouver Fire & Rescue has one of the more detailed fire safety plan programs in the Lower Mainland. Their Fire Safety Plan and Pre-Incident Plan Program outlines ten requirements a compliant plan must address — from the physical site audit and emergency procedures through to what they call “tactical schematics”: iPad-optimized site and floor plans built specifically for first responder use during an emergency.
These aren’t decorative drawings. When a crew arrives at a building they’ve never been in before, these plans are what they’re working from.
