The Ontario Fire Code (O. Reg. 388/97 as amended) is a regulation under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997, that sets out various fire safety requirements for buildings in the Province of Ontario. The Ontario Fire Code stipulates that it is responsibility of the owner to comply. The owner may be considered to be any person, firm or corporation having control over any portion of the building or property under consideration and includes the persons in the building or property.
