What kind of fire protection work is it?

Mostly commercial (16), multi-unit residential (9), industrial (6), with a long tail beyond that.

What are these fire protection jobs worth in Ontario?

46 of the 65 publish a declared value. The median is $25k and the largest is $1M. Declared value is the owner's construction cost estimate, not your contract value, so treat it as a size band rather than a budget.

How early is a building permit compared to a job posting?

Months. A building permit is pulled once the owner has committed the money and the drawings are stamped, and before the trades are picked. A job posting appears after somebody has already been chosen for everything else.

How to work this list

A pulled permit means the money is committed and the schedule is being built. For sprinkler and fire protection contractors that is weeks to months of warning before the call goes out.
Split the list. Housing permits you chase this week and win on being reachable; commercial ones you chase by finding the general contractor and getting on the bid list.
Track the ones you contact somewhere that will remind you, because the trade call on most of these lands one to four months after the permit is issued.
