Today is First Responders Day, and it’s a moment to acknowledge the work that happens without hesitation - often in times of our greatest need.
On #FirstRespondersDay, we thank our fire, paramedic, and community safety teams for showing up every day with a passion to help.

Carbon monoxide (CO) could accumulate unseen in your very own home leading to tragic consequences.
Install CO alarms on every storey of your home, test them every month and have all fuel-burning appliances, chimneys, and vents inspected annually by a registered contractor.
Protect what matters most!

Just after midnight this morning, occupants in a rental dwelling were alerted by smoke alarms to a significant fire situation in their house, allowing them to safely escape. Today, these inexpensive life safety devices saved lives! Test your alarms today.

Have you heard of Ontario’s Slow Down, Move Over Law? Here’s what you should know:
When approaching an emergency vehicle with flashing red or red and blue lights, or a tow truck with flashing amber lights stopped on the side of the road, drivers are required by law to:
• slow down and proceed with caution
• if the road has two or more lanes and it’s safe to do so, move into the other lane to provide space. These measures help protect emergency response personnel.
Let’s all do our part to keep our first responders safe on our roads and highways!

Smoke alarms save lives! When you change your clocks ahead one hour this weekend, don't forget to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

When purchasing alarms, ensure they are listed for use in Ontario. Alarms for purchase with some online retailers may not be listed for use in Ontario and may not function properly to provide you with the early detection required to safely escape your home in the event of a fire
