Fire Underwriters Survey Information Page for Canadian Fire Chiefs
24 March 2020
Delivery of emergency services is challenging at the best of times but during a pandemic there are additional concerns that Fire Chiefs and other emergency service providers need to consider.
The provincial and federal associations of Fire Chiefs provide great information and we strongly recommend that Fire Chiefs join these organizations and stay up to date on all relevant communications from these associations that provide the most up to date information for delivering emergency services during the pandemic.
The following links include important information for Canadian Fire Chiefs and we hope you will find them useful. Note that in some cases the information comes from non-Canadian sources but appear to be best practices that are currently published.
