Older adults face higher risks in home fires.
Mobility, sensory impairments, or medical needs can make escape harder. Help reduce this risk by creating and practicing a fire escape plan with accessibility in mind.

Who are you cheering for Kingston? ๐จ๐ฆ
Cooking is the #1 cause of residential fires in Kingston and alcohol is often a factor. Be mindful when cooking. Fires caused by cooking mostly happen when the stove is left unattended. ๐ณ๐ฅ
Stay safe & enjoy the game sports fans! โฝ๏ธ๐๐โพ๏ธ

Follow the manufacturerโs instructions to help prevent fires:
โข use only certified batteries and charging cords (CSA, cUL or cETL)
โข never overcharge your battery
โข avoid tampering or modifying your e-bike or battery system
