Fire Codes, Permits and Inspections

Fire Codes are in place to protect citizens in their homes, offices and in public places. Fire codes apply to you, whether you’re planning a special event, hanging office decorations, or demolishing a building. Our Fire Inspections and Investigations team can assist you with fire safety planning and ensuring you comply with the National Fire Code (Alberta Edition)​.

If you have questions, you can contact the Fire Inspections and Investigations team by calling 311.

Periodically the Fire Marshal releases important Fire Codes bulletins. Want updates on all fire codes and bulletins in Calgary? Sign up to receive our newsletter.
