New fire safety standards for apartment owners By the first day of Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 9-15) apartment owners with as few as three units will have to have their buildings upgraded to new, more strin- gent fire safety standards. "A lot of owners don't even really know about it," says Seaforth area Fire Chief George Garrick. Building owners can face fines of $25,000 in the case of an individual and $50,000 in the case of a corporation. Even a jail term is a possibility. Houses with two residential units are already responsible for installing and maintaining smoke detectors. Apartment owners who want to know if they meet standards can contact the Fire Chief or the Office of the Fire Marshal at the phone number listed under the Ministry of Solicitor -General and Correc- tional Services in the blue pages of a telephone direc- tory.
