Special Event Checklist

This Special Event Checklist helps organizers and municipal staff plan and assess public events in the Town of Bancroft. It covers essential safety and compliance items including fire extinguishers and servicing, appropriate extinguisher types for cooking areas, canopy or tent coverage for cooking operations, controls for flare ups, and keeping combustibles clear. It guides checks on fuel systems and tank security, ignition source controls such as no smoking signage and proper use of temporary wiring and heat producing equipment, and limiting open flames. The checklist also prompts for approved fire safety plans, staff training on procedures and equipment use, and unobstructed fire department access with available water sources and standpipe connections. Egress requirements include sufficient, clear, signed, and illuminated exits. An additional information section captures event specific notes and requirements.
