Nova Scotia’s auditor general says the provincial Fire Marshal’s office is putting the public at risk in failing to manage fire and building safety despite repeated warnings in a series of audits.

Kim Adair says her report is the third since 2001 that has made similar findings and has also determined that the Fire Marshal’s office is not performing appropriate oversight of its operations.
