Fire Safety Plans
A Fire Safety Plan is a legal requirement for most commercial, multi-family residential, and institutional buildings in Surrey, BC. Under the British Columbia Fire Code, building owners must have an approved Fire Safety Plan in place to obtain and maintain an occupancy permit. Surrey Fire Service enforces these requirements and conducts regular inspections to verify compliance.
At GetFirePlan, our Surrey-based team creates fully customized Fire Safety Plans that meet all requirements set out by the BC Fire Code and the Surrey Fire Service, clearly outline evacuation procedures, identify fire hazards and exit routes specific to your building, and satisfy City of Surrey permit requirements for occupancy. A properly designed Fire Safety Plan reduces the risk of injury, minimizes property damage, and gives building occupants the confidence to respond safely in an emergency. Our Surrey office ensures fast turnaround times and local expertise. Whether your property is in Whalley, Guildford, Fleetwood, Clayton, Sullivan, or South Surrey, our team understands the specific fire safety needs of each neighborhood.

Construction Fire Safety Plans
Construction Fire Safety Plans
Surrey is one of the most active construction markets in British Columbia, with new residential towers, commercial developments, and mixed-use projects underway across City Centre, Cloverdale, Newton, and South Surrey. Any active construction or demolition site in Surrey is required to have a Construction Fire Safety Plan in place before work begins.
​
The City of Surrey and the Surrey Fire Service require a Construction Fire Safety Plan as part of the building permit process for new construction, major renovations, and demolition projects. Failure to have a compliant plan can result in permit delays, stop-work orders, and significant fines.
​
GetFirePlan's Construction Fire Safety Plans for Surrey sites include a site-specific hazard assessment for each phase of construction, emergency evacuation procedures for all workers and contractors, fire protection equipment requirements, hot work permit procedures, fuel storage protocols, and regular plan updates as your site evolves. Our team coordinates directly with Surrey Fire Service inspectors to ensure smooth permit approval.

Should you ignore a fire violation?
We at get www.getfireplan.com get a lot of calls from owners and Property Managers who panic about a fire violation. Normally most clients will admit that they have been told by the local fire department that they need to fix some of the issues like having a Fire Safety Plan or Fire Plan for short.
How Surrey Fire Service handles fire safety plans
Surrey Fire Service's fire prevention division reviews fire safety plans for every building that requires one under Section 2.8 of the BC Fire Code, and its inspectors check for a current, approved plan on site during routine inspections, after alarm or sprinkler work, and before occupancy of new or renovated space. Surrey has grown faster than any other city in BC, which means a large number of newer buildings whose developer-supplied plans have never been updated — and a fire prevention office that has seen every kind of incomplete plan and sends them back. Since 2003 GetFirePlan has prepared more than 1,000 fire safety plans across BC, a large share of them for Surrey buildings, and we know what its reviewers expect to see before they sign off.
What a Surrey fire safety plan must include
Emergency procedures for occupants and for supervisory staff: sounding the alarm, calling 911, evacuating, meeting the fire department, and controlling fire spread where safe to do so.
Appointment and duties of supervisory staff, with names and contact numbers kept current.
Training — how staff are instructed in their duties, and how often drills are held (annually for most buildings, more often for care and assembly occupancies).
Site and floor drawings showing exits, fire alarm panel and annunciator, sprinkler and standpipe connections, hydrants, gas and electrical shut-offs, elevators, and the location of the fire safety plan box.
Fire hazards present in the building and how they're controlled — kitchen suppression, hot work, storage, hazardous materials.
Maintenance schedules for fire alarm, sprinklers, extinguishers, emergency lighting, exit signs and fire doors.
Alternative measures for when a fire protection system is shut down for repair.
Annual review — the plan must be reviewed at least once a year and updated when the building, tenants or systems change.
The 2026 BC Fire Safety Act — what changed for Surrey owners
BC's new Fire Safety Act shifts more responsibility onto building owners: clearer owner liability for maintaining fire safety plans and systems, provincial authority for local governments to appoint fire safety officers and issue compliance orders, and administrative penalties for non-compliance. For Surrey owners the practical effect is that an out-of-date fire safety plan is no longer a paperwork gap — it's a compliance issue with the owner's name on it.

Frequently asked questions — Surrey
How long does approval from Surrey Fire Service take?
Review time varies with their workload; we typically see plans accepted within a few weeks of submission when they're complete on the first pass, which is why we send a full draft for your review before submitting.
Does Surrey Fire Service charge a fee to review a fire safety plan?
Fees change; we confirm the current fee at the time of submission and include any applicable charges in your quote so there are no surprises.
We received an inspection notice about our fire safety plan. How fast can you help?
Call us with the notice in hand. We prioritize buildings under a compliance deadline and can usually have a draft to you within the week.
Is a fire safety plan the same as an evacuation plan?
No. An evacuation diagram is one small part of a fire safety plan. Surrey Fire Service requires the full plan — procedures, staff duties, drawings, maintenance and hazards.
