What dwelling units are regulated by Section 2.13 of the Fire Code?
Section 2.13 applies to all detached houses, semi-detached houses and row houses where each house is occupied as a dwelling unit (see definition below). A seasonal home, such as a cabin or cottage, is also considered a dwelling unit for the purpose of this Section. Section 2.13 also captures any other dwelling unit that is not otherwise regulated by Part 9, Retrofit, provisions of the Fire Code. Where for example, a building contains a mixed use of occupancies and also contains one or two dwelling units, Section 2.13 would require the dwelling unit(s) to be provided with smoke alarms. Part 9 regulates houses containing secondary apartment units and most multi-storey, multi-unit residential buildings. Smoke alarm requirements for these buildings are already contained in Part 9 of the Fire Code and Section 2.13 does not apply to these units.
