Fire Prevention Fact Sheet

Before renting or occupying a house or a building, the producer must ensure that it meets fire prevention standards and that it contains the necessary fire fighting equipment, in compliance with the NFPA 140.

The distance to be covered between any point in the building and the closest exit must not exceed 25 m (approx. 82 ft) when there are no automatic extinguishers (sprinklers), or 45 m (approx. 148 ft) if there are sprinklers throughout the building.
