In 2008, the OdM <\/strong>conducts a lengthy inquiry and concludes that the five-metre clearance required to park near a fire hydrant is no longer necessary. In fact, the City itself departs from this rule in areas where there is paid on-street parking.<\/p>\n

This mandatory clearance, however, is provided for in the Highway Safety Code <\/em>(HSC). The City undertakes to initiate discussions with the Qu\u00e9bec government with a view to amend this provision. Thereafter, the OdM <\/strong>makes occasional follow-ups.<\/p>\n

\u2666\u00a0 In 2011, Montr\u00e9al\u2019s Fire Department confirms again that its fire-trucks do not need a five-metre clearance around fire hydrants. The Fire Departments of Longueuil, Qu\u00e9bec and L\u00e9vis are of the same opinion: their comments are forwarded to the Ministry of Public Security.<\/p>\n

\u2666\u00a0 Ville de Montr\u00e9al <\/em>resumes its discussions with the provincial government.<\/p>\n

\u2666\u00a0 On December 8, 2017, the Qu\u00e9bec government tables a Bill amending the HSC significantly. Notably, the clearance required around fire hydrants is reduced to 3 metres.<\/p>\n

This amendment takes effect on May 18, 2018. This file is finally settled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
