Waterloo’s new fire safety box bylaw comes into effect soon

Owners of apartments and other buildings are required to have a fire safety box and arrive on the scene within 45 minutes of an alarm starting March 23, 2025.

A fire safety box should have the contact information for the owner, or a designated contact person, along with the building’s schematics or drawings. Access to this information will help firefighters quickly assess the situation and navigate the building.

The new bylaw also requires building owners, or a designated contact person, to arrive within 45 minutes of an alarm to reset the system and support residents as needed. Timely responses to alarms help to ensure they’re working properly and free up crews to respond to other emergencies.

“These changes will help improve emergency response times while keeping both firefighters and residents safe,” said Sandy van Solm, Deputy Fire Chief. “It’s one of the ways we’re advancing public safety to meet the needs of our growing and changing city.”

The fire safety box bylaw will come into effect on March 23, 2025. After that date, failure to provide a fire safety box or arrive at the scene of the fire within 45 minutes, may result in a fine of up to $5,000. Learn more about fire safety boxes on our Public Education webpage.

Waterloo Fire Rescue’s Fire Prevention Division provides fire safety and prevention services and education for homes, offices and schools. Each year we visit 4,500 homes to educate residents on fire safety.

Starting a new business is no easy job either way, but being in a new country definitely raised some challenges. Being part of AREC - Association of Romanian Engineers in Canada helped us to get all the knowledge on how to align with Canadian Regulation and Certifications. Also, AREC supported us from the beginning with all they could to go further and grow! We could not be more grateful to be part of this awesome community and also to be able to give back!
Let's celebrate together at this years AREC Gala Dinner along with other professionals, family and friends!

Over the past two decades, we have achieved remarkable outcomes in our activity. We were able to assist numerous members and supporters in finding valuable information for their professional and personal growth, making new friends, and improving their position for a new job role through the networking events, mentoring workshops, professional seminars, and social activities. AREC provided scholarships to hundreds of students and for this "BIG THANKS!" to all members and supporters.
We are very grateful to our sponsors for their assistance in reaching all of our goals and we invite you to have FUN again at the upcoming AREC Gala Dinner .
Together We Are Stronger!
