Unifying the Fire Protection Industry in British Columbia
Providing life safety support & education to industry stakeholders. We are comprised of companies, government bodies, and individuals who design, sell, install, inspect, service, and enforce life safety in British Columbia.
Formed in 2018 as the Vancouver Island Fire Protection Association, we transitioned to the Fire Protection Association of British Columbia in 2024 to expand our reach and become more inclusive of those throughout the province who wished to be part of the mandate to improve life safety. We are an independent, non-profit organization supported solely by membership fees. FPABC provides support, education and compliance throughout British Columbia, working closely with Fire Departments and Industry stakeholders to improve fire safety standards in all municipalities. All AHJ’s are eligible for free, non-voting membership.
Our Mission
Our goals are to educate and inform industry stakeholder, including electricians & installers; service technicians; engineers; building owners, property managers, and agents; building, electrical, plumbing, & fire inspectors, and any other Authority Having Jurisdiction on the statutes, standards, regulations, legislation and fire codes that govern life safety responsibilities within the province of British Columbia.
Safety isn’t expensive, it’s priceless.
