Ontario / Canada
Complete FPPA compliance — fire code inspections per s.19, fire code orders per s.21, fire investigation and origin/cause determination per s.9, Fire Marshal notification requirements per s.28, establishing and regulating bylaw compliance, community risk assessment per O.Reg. 378/18, and annual OFM data submission.
Ontario / Canada
Full Ontario Fire Code inspection support — occupancy-specific checklists (Groups A–F), fire safety plan requirements per s.2.8, fire code order issuance with OFC section references, violation tracking by OFC part and section, and mandatory inspection scheduling per Part 2 requirements.

OHSA compliance for firefighter safety — hazardous material exposure documentation, PPE requirements tracking per applicable standards (NFPA 1851, 1852), workplace inspection records, near-miss reporting, and Joint Health and Safety Committee documentation.
Ontario / Canada
Certification and training tracking to NFPA standards: Firefighter I/II (NFPA 1001), HazMat (NFPA 472), Fire Officer (NFPA 1021), Fire Inspector (NFPA 1031), Pump Operations (NFPA 1002), Aerial Operations (NFPA 1002), Apparatus Maintenance (NFPA 1911/1912), PPE Lifecycle (NFPA 1851), Community Risk Assessment (NFPA 1730).

Documentation and evidence management supporting WSIB presumptive cancer claims for firefighters — hazardous exposure tracking, cumulative career exposure history, incident-linked exposure records, SCBA usage documentation, and NFPA 1851 decontamination compliance records.
Ontario / Canada
Drone program compliance with Transport Canada Canadian Aviation Regulations Part IX — RPAS registration, pilot certification tracking (Advanced Operations), flight log management, airspace authorization, NOTAM review, and insurance documentation per regulatory requirements.

Municipal Freedom of Information (MFIPPA) and Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) compliance — role-based access controls separate general fire records from confidential health monitoring data, exposure records, and medical examination results. Access logging for all confidential data retrieval.
“Compliance is not a feature we bolted on after launch — it is the architectural foundation every line of code is written against. Canadian municipalities deserve a platform that treats their legislative obligations as first-class requirements.”
