Our method

The method of the Agent Pompier editorial team: where the figures come from, how articles are checked and what the site never does.

Updated on October 15, 2026.

Who writes

Agent Pompier is an independent information site. It is not affiliated with the Ministère de la Sécurité publique, the École nationale des pompiers du Québec, any fire safety service, municipality, union or school. Its articles are signed by the Agent Pompier editorial team.

Official sources only

Figures and rules come from authoritative texts: laws and regulations on LégisQuébec, Québec.ca, the École nationale des pompiers du Québec, city fire safety services, the Régie du bâtiment du Québec, the Autorité des marchés financiers, SOPFEU and the Government of Canada Job Bank. When no official source gives a figure, the article says so instead of making one up.

The media are not used as sources. No newspaper article is reproduced.

Every figure is dated

A salary, a rate or a rule changes over time. Each article states the version of the source used or the date it was consulted. The list of sources, with their links, is at the bottom of every article and every guide.

The real questions readers ask

The frequently asked questions at the bottom of articles are the ones people actually ask Google, used word for word. The answer is a few sentences long and relies on the same sources as the article.

What the site does not do

Agent Pompier gives no legal advice and no intervention technique. It does not replace legal advice, training or the directives of your fire safety service. In an emergency, call 911.
