Radius Fire Protection

Most property owners know to test their smoke detectors twice a year, but many don't realize that the units themselves have an "Expiry Date."

A standard smoke detector has a 10-year lifespan. Even if the battery is brand new, the internal sensors degrade over time due to:

➡️ Accumulated dust and debris
➡️ Fluctuations in humidity
➡️ Sensory fatigue

🔥 Pro-Tip for Property Managers: Take a unit off the bracket and check the "Date of Manufacture" on the back. If it was made over a decade ago, it is no longer reliable and needs a full replacement.

Action: Is your building's detection system reaching its 10-year mark? We can help with a full-system audit.

Is your property "Wildfire Ready"? 🌲🔥

As we head into June, the risk profile for businesses shifts. It’s no longer just about internal compliance. It’s about external defence. With wildfire season intensifying every year, your building's "Defensible Space" is its most important asset.

Don't wait for an evacuation order to find out you have a fuel-load problem. Here are the 5 essential tasks every facility manager should prioritize this June:

✅ Zone Zero Clearance: Remove all dry mulch and debris within 1.5 meters of your exterior walls.
✅ Air Intake Integrity: Ensure HVAC filters are clean to prevent smoke/ash infiltration during air quality advisories.
✅ Rooftop Audit: Clear gutters of dry needles and debris that act as kindling for wind-blown embers.
✅ Vegetation Management: Maintain a 10-meter "Buffer Zone" between your building and any dense brush.
✅ Hydrant Accessibility: Ensure summer growth hasn't obstructed access for first responders.

The Radius Standard: We help you protect your perimeter before the smoke arrives.

🔥 Did you know you need a Fire Safety Plan before you can even break ground on a new project in BC?

Construction sites are some of the highest-risk environments for fire, especially large wood-frame developments where a single spark can threaten neighbouring properties. Yet one crucial requirement is often overlooked: the Construction Fire Safety Plan (CFSP).

Here’s why it matters:
🚧 It’s required to get your building permit
💸 Missing it can cause costly delays and rework
🛡 A proper plan protects your workers, community, and reputation

Radius Security has helped contractors on some of BC’s biggest projects (Vancouver House, Shangri-La, EA Sports HQ) by preparing CFSPs that meet (and often exceed) code requirements.

Don’t let paperwork delay your project. Get it right the first time.

Nothing brings more peace of mind than knowing your fire protection is in expert hands. A big thank you to our valued client for trusting Radius Fire with your safety!

What is a fire safety plan?
It's a structured document outlining all the fire safety features/systems in the building, servicing requirements for the systems, evacuation procedures & detailed safety drawings.

Why does it matter?
A well-prepared fire plan will provide owners/tenants/occupants and responding firefighters with critical information about the building’s fire safety features, hazards, evacuation procedures and much more.

Key elements of a strong fire safety plan:
- Plan meets current city guidelines and is registered/approved by the Fire Department.
- Fire plan is up-to-date with any building changes (renovations, personnel changes, upgrades).

Let’s make fire safety a priority! 🔥

Is your inventory blocking your best line of defence? 🔥

National fire codes are clear: you must maintain at least 18 inches of vertical clearance below every sprinkler head. Stacking pallets or boxes too high creates an "umbrella effect," which prevents water from reaching the source of a fire.

➡️ Quick Audit: Walk your facility today. If you can't fit a standard ruler and a half between your top shelf and the ceiling, you’re at risk for a code violation—and a major safety hazard.
