Fire Prevention
In Fire Prevention, we say that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Our proactive approach and pre-incident planning helps to protect Burnaby citizens and firefighters from injury before a fire even starts.
Our Public Education Program strives to bring fire safety awareness to the public. Here, you'll find information and fire safety tips for everyone from school-aged children to seniors to work groups.
