IS YOUR HOME READY FOR A FIRE?
Most Ontario homeowners have smoke detectors. Far fewer have a complete fire protection plan. Dakota helps you close the gap.
Why It Matters
Modern Homes Burn Faster Than You Think
Homes built or renovated in the last 30 years use engineered lumber, synthetic materials, and open floor plans that burn significantly faster than older construction. What once gave occupants 17 minutes to escape now gives them as little as 3.
A working smoke detector buys you time. But time only helps if you know what to do with it. That is why Dakota's fire assessment goes beyond checking whether your detectors have batteries — we look at your whole fire readiness picture.

The Assessment
WHAT WE CHECK IN YOUR HOME
During your $199 Fire Protection Assessment, our advisor walks through four key areas of your home's fire readiness.
Smoke Detection
We verify detector placement, age, and coverage — including bedrooms, hallways, and every level of the home. Many homes have gaps that leave occupants with less warning time than they need.
Carbon Monoxide Detection
CO is odourless and colourless. We check whether your home has adequate CO detection near sleeping areas and fuel-burning appliances, and whether detectors are within their service life.
Fire Extinguisher Readiness
We assess whether your home has the right type and number of extinguishers, whether they are accessible and charged, and whether household members know how to use them.
Escape Planning
We review your home's layout and discuss exit routes, meeting points, and whether every family member — including children and elderly residents — has a clear plan for getting out safely.
