We Serve with Pride
We are the leading safety agency in Richmond. We take pride in our responsibility for the resilience and livability of our community — through effective emergency response, enforcement of safety standards in building construction and use, and public education.
Protecting Richmond Before an Emergency Begins
Fire Prevention
Our Fire Prevention team works with residents, businesses, builders and property owners to reduce fire risks and help keep Richmond safe.
Through inspections, permits, development reviews, fire safety planning and code compliance, we help prevent emergencies before they happen.
Learning Today. Safer Tomorrow.
Public Education
Our Public Education team brings practical fire and life-safety education directly into Richmond’s schools, homes and community spaces.
Through online learning, classroom programs, community events and engaging safety resources, we help people of all ages build the knowledge and confidence to stay safe.
Be Ready Before an Emergency Happens
Emergency Programs
Richmond’s Emergency Programs team helps residents, families and neighbourhoods prepare for emergencies and larger disasters.
