Who We Serve

In February 2011, a fire in Sudbury Ontario resulted in an occupant sustaining severe, life threatening injuries. Irrespective of the cause of the fire, 45 charges were laid against the property owners and managers for infractions related to the poor maintenance of their fire alarm system and inadequate measures taken to prevent the spread of fire. Under the Ontario Fire Code, corporations found guilty of an offence under the Fire Prevention and Protection Act are subject to a fine of up to $100,000 per infraction and up to a year in jail.

“This incident was a wake-up call for owners and managers of all types of buildings,”
– Marc Leduc, Greater Sudbury Fire Chief

We help corporations to reduce expenses, decrease risk, ensure compliance and protect lives.

Fire safety planning and development in the hospitality business comes with very unique challenges. In an industry where protecting people, property and reputation from fire are all paramount, hotels need defense-in-depth protection. Delivering it requires a “big picture” 360° fire safety viewpoint that comes only from cross-trained expertise, not from a single specialty focus.

Priority Fire Equipment helps hotels and chains to prepare and protect lives and assets through comprehensive inspections, expert fire planning consulting and integrated, turnkey solutions.

The findings of a 4-year study by the US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) determined that property damage in hotel fires was found to be 78% less in structures with sprinklers. When a single fire safety system can have that much impact, the inherent value of multiple levels of protection working in synergy cannot be understated.

By empowering our hotel clients with diverse solutions, proven expertise, planning, knowledge, training and ongoing support, we help them to achieve the highest levels of synergy, value, protection, preparedness and lasting peace of mind.

Arson. Waste. Security. Heating and electrical issues. Employee vigilance. Training and preparedness. Poor installation or lack of quality fire detection and suppression systems. These are just some of the reasons why retail premises traditionally figure prominently in annual fire loss statistics.

When it comes to retail locations, hazards, threats, causes and preventative solutions can be varied and complex as they are shaped by the immediate retail space as well as the larger building.

From small corner shops to retail warehouses and departmental stores, Priority Fire Equipment helps retail chains and location owners/managers to expertly protect colleagues, customers and premises through comprehensive inspections, expert fire planning consulting and integrated, turnkey solutions.

Multiple floors, classrooms and storage spaces. Stringent codes covering diverse parameters. Aging electrical systems.

Standpipe and hose cabinets. Emergency lighting… and the list goes on.

When it comes to schools, fire hazards and preventative solutions can be varied and complex as they are shaped by the larger building as well as classrooms, storage, kitchen, maintenance and other areas.
