- WHY YOU'RE READING THIS PAGE
Something in your fire protection went offline. Now you're on the clock.
Under the Ontario Fire Code (O. Reg. 213/07, Section 2.8), a building can’t sit unprotected once its fire alarm or sprinkler system stops working — a fire watch has to start right away and continue until the system is back in service or the fire department signs off. Most calls we get in Mississauga come from one of these situations:
Sprinkler or alarm system down
Contractor’s mid-repair, a panel’s been flagged, or the monitoring company just called to say the system dropped offline.
TRIGGER 02
Hot works on site
Welding, cutting, grinding or torch work in a building where standard suppression isn’t active or isn’t installed yet.
Construction & renovation phasing
Framing is up, sprinklers aren’t tied in yet, and the site’s occupied or storing combustible material.
TRIGGER 04
Impairment during maintenance
TRIGGER 05
Event or temporary occupancy
TRIGGER 06
Order from the fire marshal
- HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY DIFFERENT
Most Mississauga fire watch listings read the same. Here's where it matters in practice.
Every company on the first page of Google will tell you they’re “trained and licensed” — that’s the legal minimum, not a differentiator. Here’s what changes once a guard is standing in your building at 2 a.m.
