Essential Safety Measures

Essential Safety Measures (ESMs) are the critical safety features of a building, designed to protect people inside during a fire. They can give people more time to escape in an emergency, and potentially stop or slow a fire from spreading. CFA relies on ESMs such as fire hydrants, to be able to help fight fires. On this page, learn more about ESMs, who decides which ones are necessary in a building, and the kind of maintenance they require.
