What is the procedure when reporting a major fire (over $250,000) involving injuries or deaths?
Within 12 hours of a fire’s occurrence, departments must advise Human Resources and Social Development Canada, Labour Program regional or district office, with the following information: fire death or fire injury; dollar loss; suspicious origin; if a significant interruption of essential federal services; necessitating immediate action to prevent a recurrence; or involvement of a prestige or heritage building.
