How are you engaging with your communities about the importance of #fireprevention and #FireSmart this year?! #firesafety #CommunityEngagement
We've already seen a number of intense wildfires across the country this year. Knowing that so many of them are preventable means we all have to do better to keep each other safe. Be sure to practice fire safety & pass this message on. #FireSafety #wildfirescanada

🔔🔥 When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast. It can also be thick, dark, poisonous & impossible to see where you’re going. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can get outside to safety. Act quickly when you hear them beep! #EPWeek2022

During a fire, leave the building as quickly as possible. Once you're safely outside, stay outside & call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number to report the fire. #FirePrevention
