Alternative Measures for Occupant Fire Safety
In the event of any shut-down of fire protection equipment systems or part thereof, in
excess of 24 hours, the fire department shall be notified in writing. Occupants will be
notified and instructions will be posted as to alternative provisions or actions to be taken in
case of emergency. These provisions and actions must be acceptable to the Nelson Fire &
Rescue Services.
All attempts to minimize the impact of malfunctioning equipment will be initiated. Where
portions of a sprinkler or fire alarm system are placed out of service, service to remaining
portions must be maintained, and where necessary, the use of watchmen, bull-horns,
communication devices, etc. will be employed to notify concerned parties of emergencies.
Assistance and direction for specific situations will be sought from Nelson Fire & Rescue
Services.
Procedures to be followed in the event of shutdown of any part of a fire protection
system are as follows:
1. Notify the Nelson Fire & Rescue Service, dial (250) 352-3103 (DO NOT USE 911). Give
your name, address and a description of the problem and when you expect it to be
corrected. The Nelson Fire & Rescue Service is to be notified in writing of shutdowns
longer than 24 hours.
2. Post notices at all exits and the main entrance, stating the problem and when it is
expected to be corrected.
3. Have staff of other reliable person(s) patrol the affected area(s) at least once every 30
minutes.
4. Notify Nelson Fire & Rescue Service and the building occupants when repairs have been
completed and systems are operational.
Note:
All shutdowns will be confined to as limited an area and duration as possible.
Cooking operations shall be suspended until the commercial cooking fixed
extinguishing system is restored.
