Conference
With two sessions a year, our members are given opportunities to further their education and network with not only other fire inspectors in the province but also individuals involved in fire safety.
Bylaws
These were originally passed at our annual general meeting held in Halifax on May 2014, and then amended on October 2021.
President’s Message
The Fire Inspectors Association of Nova Scotia (FIANS) is a provincial association founded in 1994 as a not for profit organization and represents individuals and organizations that are dedicated to saving lives and property through the prevention of fires.
FIANS prides itself on providing exceptional educational offerings and in September 2026, we are launching our new Level 1 Professional Educational Programming (PEP). The new format will allow an individual to get through all eight level 1 courses within one year if s/he can commit to one course a month starting in September and working through to May 2027. The dates for the offerings are listed in the link below. Registration fees and forms will be disseminated mid July.
Professional Education Program
Registration for the new Professional Education Program is now open. The location of the classes will be disseminated in August. All classes will be 3 days in duration and will comprise 2.5 days of learning and an exam on the final afternoon.
