Jul 30, 2019 | 6:58 AM

CALGARY- The City of Calgary has laid dozens of fire code charges against a fire safety company and several of its customers.

Premium Fire Protection and 10 of its employees are facing 65 charges under the Alberta Fire Code.

The alleged violations are related to unqualified and uncertified people installing alarms and communications systems, portable extinguishers and special suppression systems.

The city has also laid 15 charges against several large retail outlets that used Premium Fire Protection’s services.

A seven-month investigation led to the charges and the city says there’s the possibility more will be laid.
