Fire Services

Nestled in the heart of our city, Beaumont Fire Services is a well-oiled machine.

Our fire hall serves as the hub, while our training facility off Township Road 510 fuels our expertise.

A core team of five, led by the Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief, offers seamless operations from Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. When the sun sets and weekends roll in, it’s the 40 devoted volunteers who take the stage, ready to respond. The fire team is prepared for any challenge with two engines, two support units and a ladder truck.

Training is provided both in-house and regionally to National Fire Protection Association 1001 Level 2 standards, allowing members to provide fire, rescue and medical services to the citizens of Beaumont.

Fire department key lockbox program

The City of Beaumont and the National Fire Code require fire lockboxes on select properties and businesses within Beaumont, to better deliver fire protection services in our community. A lockbox provides emergency responders quick access to a building. They must contain all keys or devices required to access the building and the fire/life safety systems.

A lockbox needs to be installed on a building with any of the following:

  • A fire alarm system where:
    • control features, including emergency voice communication systems, are located behind a locked panel.
    • manually operated devices require a key or device to be reset.
    • the electrical circuit breaker is located within a locked panel or room.
  • An automatic sprinkler system where the main control valve is locked in the open position or if it’s located within a locked room or enclosure.
  • Standpipe and water supply connections are in a locked room or area such as a roof.
  • A key-operated elevator control feature that permits exclusive use of elevators to fire fighting personnel or that will switch selected elevators to operate on emergency power.
  • Stairway doors that have been locked on the stairway side.
  • Roof access doors that are locked.

To give emergency responders quick access to a building,

  • the lockbox must contain all keys or devices required to access the building and the fire/life safety systems.
  • all keys and devices must be attached to a key ring and their use indicated by an attached tag.
  • lockboxes need to be installed on the exterior wall of the building close to the main entrance.

Lockboxes for use within the City of Beaumont must be purchased through the City.

  1. Pay for your lockbox at City Hall. Keep your receipt for proof of purchase.

Regular hours are Monday to Friday: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

Step 1: Mounting

  • Lockboxes must be mounted so the top of the box is 1.5 metres (five feet) from the ground and located at the main entrance to the building.
  • Mount the lockboxes according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • The finished box will remain open after installation.
  • Use of a professional installer is highly recommended.

Step 2: Planning

  • Gather all items for the box.
  • Determine the primary emergency point of contact (ie: who gets a phone call in the middle of the night during a holiday).
  • Mark all keys clearly by use. Key rings and tags may be needed to sort keys by function.

Step 3: Securing the box

Contact Beaumont Fire Services to secure the box cover. The Fire Prevention officer will check all keys work and attach the front of the box. If your keys or emergency contact person change for any reason, notify Beaumont Fire Services as soon as possible.
