Update on Industrial Use Equipment Matrix

After some initial confusion around interpreting the fire hazard ratings and how they relate to allowable equipment use, we have worked through the details and created an amended version of the Industrial Use Equipment Matrix. This revision reflects a clearer alignment with the fire hazard rating system and offers more accessible guidance for users.

As part of this process, we also reviewed Bylaw 102 to better understand the risk factors and ensure the matrix supports safe and responsible industrial activity during varying fire risk conditions.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone in the community who contributed feedback and insight throughout this process. A special thank-you to Christina Jams, who designed the original matrix to help bring more clarity to Bylaw 102, and to Ray Appel for creating the current graphic version. Your collaboration has made this a more effective tool for everyone.

NOTE: This chart is being updated over time. Please see the current Fire Ratings on this website for an up-to-date Fire Chart.
