1 Short Term Accommodations Fire Code Requirements 1

2 Foreward The following is a comprehensive reference to Retrofit 9.3 of Division B of the Ontario Fire Code (OFC). Retrofit provisions were developed to apply a set of minimum requirements to a building that was built prior to the Ontario building code. The 1986 Ontario Building Code (OBC) is referred throughout the Ontario Fire Code Division B 9.3. The referenced articles in the 1986 building code are included and boxed throughout this document. Buildings that were built under a (OBC) regulation and are being used as boarding, lodging and rooming houses will have Fire Protection and Prevention Act (F.P.P.A.) Inspection Orders issued for fire hazard deficiencies under the authority of: F.P.P.A. 21. (1) An inspector who has carried out an inspection of land or premises under section 19 or 20 may order the owner or occupant of the land or premises to take any measure necessary to ensure fire safety on the land and premise and may for that purpose order the owner or occupant, (f) to do anything respecting fire safety including anything relating to the containment of a possible fire, means of egress, fire alarm and detection, fire suppression and the preparation of a fire safety plan. 2

3 Buildings that were built prior to the Ontario Building Code (pre 1975) and are being used as boarding, lodging and rooming houses will have Fire Protection and Prevention Act (F.P.P.A.) Inspection Orders issued for fire code deficiencies under the authority of: F.P.P.A. 21. (1) An inspector who has carried out an inspection of land or premises under section 19 or 20 may order the owner or occupant of the land or premises to take any measure necessary to ensure fire safety on the land and premise and may for that purpose order the owner or occupant, (g) to remedy any contravention of the fire code. The Hawkins / Ginac bill has become law in Ontario; this law stipulates a dwelling is required to have a Carbon Monoxide alarm outside sleeping areas. (This regulation is currently being printed for insertion into the OBC and OFC) Questions on Fire Code requirements shall be addressed to: Duncan Rydall Chief Fire Prevention Officer chieffireprevention@bluemountains.ca # 105 or Cell 3
