The audit identified four findings regarding inspection scheduling and resource constraints; the Fire Prevention division had been downsized, resulting in reduced inspection frequency for high-risk occupancies from every two years and medium-risk occupancies to every three years. The audit recommended the Fire Department reassess its available resources and establish a realistic service delivery plan, with Committee members discussing potential options including outsourcing to the private sector or utilizing regional and certification teams, though the department expressed a preference to retain fire inspection services in-house.
