Fire Safety Plans

A fire safety plan isn’t just paperwork. It’s the document a firefighter reaches for when people are running for the exits. It has to be right.

At Get Fire Plan, every plan is CAD-designed by our team, coordinated directly with your local fire department, and guaranteed to pass inspection. We’ve produced over 100 plans per year for 20+ years across British Columbia — for strata corporations, property managers, developers, and building owners who need it done right the first time.

What You Get

• A complete Fire Safety Plan binder — emergency procedures, contact lists, occupant roles, drill records, hazard controls, and maintenance schedules
• CAD-drawn schematic drawings — professional floor plans and site plans showing exits, extinguishers, pull stations, sprinkler zones, hydrant locations, and evacuation routes
• Fire department submission and coordination — we handle the review process, respond to all revisions, and see it through to acceptance
• On-site delivery and staff walkthrough — we don’t just hand you a binder and disappear
• Free updates for name changes — Fire Safety Director, Deputy FSD, property manager, or service contractors (fire alarm, sprinkler, extinguisher) change? We update your plan at no charge

Who Needs a Fire Safety Plan?

Under the BC Fire Code (Section 2.8), a Fire Safety Plan is required for nearly every commercial, industrial, assembly, care, and multi-unit residential building. If you own or manage any of the following in BC, you need a current, approved plan:

• Strata buildings and apartment complexes
• Offices, warehouses, and industrial facilities
• Restaurants, retail stores, and hotels
• Schools, daycares, and care facilities
• Active construction and demolition sites

Don’t have one? Got a notice from the fire department? Not sure where to start? That’s exactly what we do — call us and we’ll handle it from here.

Our 5-Step Process

Getting a Fire Safety Plan done right doesn’t need to be complicated. At Get Fire Plan, we follow a proven 5-step process that takes you from first call to fire department acceptance — without the back-and-forth headaches.

Step 1: Free Consultation & Quote

It starts with a quick phone call or email. Share your building’s address, size, number of floors, and occupancy type. Within 24 hours you’ll receive a written, no-obligation quote with a fixed price and clear timeline. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices.

Step 2: On-Site Walkthrough

Once you approve the quote, we schedule a site visit at a time that works for you. One of our fire safety professionals walks the building from top to bottom, documenting exits, fire alarm panels, sprinkler shut-offs, standpipes, FDCs, gas shut-offs, hydrants, and any hazards or unique features. We measure what we need to draw accurate floor plans and gather the information required for every section of your plan.

Step 3: Plan Drafting & Drawings

Back at our office, we draft your customized plan and create scaled floor plans and site plans in CAD. Every section is tailored to your specific building and occupancy — no generic templates. We typically deliver a draft for your review within 1 to 2 weeks of the site visit.

Step 4: Submission to the Fire Department

We submit your plan directly to the local Authority Having Jurisdiction — whether that’s Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services, Surrey Fire Services, Burnaby Fire Department, or any other BC fire department. We handle all communication with the reviewer, respond to any requested revisions, and keep you updated on progress.

Step 5: Acceptance & Delivery

Once accepted by the fire department, we deliver a printed copy for on-site posting, digital copies for your staff and property management team, and all supporting documentation. We also walk you through the plan so your supervisory staff understand their roles. Need help with fire drills or staff training? We offer both as optional add-ons.

One Flat Fee. Approval Guaranteed. Free Name Updates.

Unlike some providers, we don’t charge extra when the fire department asks for changes. Your quoted price covers unlimited revisions until the plan is accepted. If for any reason we can’t get your plan approved, you don’t pay.
