Legislation - Acts and Regulations
The regulation of Fire Safety is a provincial government responsibility. The Federal Government has no legislative authority over fire safety maintenance requirements in Canada. Fire Safety requirements in Manitoba are regulated by the Fires Prevention and Emergency Response Act, The Planning Act, and local municipal bylaws. The acts and assoctiated regulations are available on the Manitoba Laws website. Municipal bylaws are available from each municipality, and in many cases on the municipality's website.

The Fires Prevention and Emergency Response Act:
- Manitoba Fire Code
- Fire Safety Inspections (2014) Regulation
- Fires Prevention and Emergency Response Administrative Penalties Regulation
