Fire Insurance Maps

2-5 business days

Fire Insurance Maps display streets and buildings of urban Canada in great detail. These maps illustrate building construction, occupancy and potential fire hazards tracing the historical development and providing detailed information of storage tanks, transformers, boilers and electrical rooms.

The original maps were produced between 1875 and 1923 and updated until production ceased in 1974. There may be multiple maps available for the same location in some instances. The original fire insurance maps were produced by Chas. E. Goad Co. between 1875 and 1923.

Fire insurance maps can be overlaid with ERIS’ data points (directly in Xplorer), and the other map layers ordered, to easily detect and distinguish building and land use changes.

The research fee is applied once per address searched and applies to a full search for FIMs, Inspection Reports and Site Plans. For large or irregularly shaped sites (over 7 acres or 500m in length), the research fee is applied once per 250-metre search zone.
