From February 12 to May 12, 2003, the Ministry of Public Safety and Security (Office of the Fire Marshal) is inviting public comment on a package of proposed technical changes for the next edition of the Ontario Fire Code (OFC).  To a large degree, these proposed changes have been compiled in consideration of a variety of submissions, Coroner’s inquest recommendations and harmonization with the National Fire Code.  They do not represent government policy and your views will be considered before the government makes final decisions regarding the next edition of the OFC.
