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. FIMs are delivered electronically.

The research fee is applied once per address searched and applies to a full search for FIMs, Inspection Reports and Site Plans.
