Legislation - Acts and Regulations

The regulation of Fire Safety is a provincial government responsibility.  The Federal Government has no legislative authority over fire safety maintenance requirements in Canada. Fire Safety requirements in Manitoba are regulated by the Fires Prevention and Emergency Response Act, The Planning Act, and local municipal bylaws. The acts and assoctiated regulations are available on the Manitoba Laws website. Municipal bylaws are available from each municipality, and in many cases on the municipality's website.

The Office of the Fire Commissioner is responsible for helping to administer the following:

The Fires Prevention and Emergency Response Act:

  • Manitoba Fire Code
  • Fire Safety Inspections (2014) Regulation
  • Fires Prevention and Emergency Response Administrative Penalties Regulation
  • Fires Prevention and Emergency Response Fees Regulation
  • Fire Hose Regulation
  • Property Insurance Assessment Regulation
  • Centrally Monitored Fire Alarm System and fire Alarm Monitoring Agencies
