Great opportunity to teach with Rob King, Instructor @ONFireMarshal with the NFPA 1031 Inspector I course. Much thanks to @RHFES RTC for the great hospitality #2ndLineofDefense #OntarioFireCode

During a recent fire investigation we are very happy to report that the smoke alarm activated & woke up the homeowners who were sleeping at the time of the fire. Smoke alarm did it's job! Homeowners escaped safely #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives #FireSafetyEducation #OntarioFireCode

This was a very tragic fire in Philadelphia where 13 people died. In our province the #OntarioFireCode mandates working smoke alarms on every level & outside sleeping areas. Pls test your alarms & make sure they have not expired. Have 2 exits outs. cnn.com/us/live-news/philade…

Big increase in the number of fire deaths so far in 2021. Many more people at home due to #COVID19ON . Pls everyone make sure you have working & NONexpired smoke alarms. Have 2 ways out. Do a fire drill #becauswecare #Itsthelaw #Ontariofirecode @OAFEOntario @richardhepditch

Great info from our friends @TSSAOntario . Pls make sure you have a working & NONexpired CO alarm adjacent to your bedrooms #COpoisoning #OntarioFireCode @ONFireMarshal @OAFEOntario @omfpoa911 #becausewecare

Great tip, thank you for sharing. FYI. in Ontario we call them alarms, not detectors as per the #OntarioFireCode. Thanks again!

32 Fire deaths so far in 2021 in province. 32 too many. Make sure your smoke & CO alarms work. They have an expiry date, check it #FireSafety #Itsthelaw #Ontariofirecode @richardhepditch @rschube04 @OAFEOntario @ONFireMarshal

If you're home sharing in #Ontario, as an owner, you have obligations under the #OntarioFireCode for ensuring the #FireSafety of persons who rent your home or part of your home whether this is on a short or long term basis: ow.ly/5GZI50AKpMc @NFPA @oshawacity @iafflocal465

As businesses continue to open back up from #Covid_19 make sure your Fire Protection Systems are being maintained #ItsTheLaw per #OntarioFireCode @richardhepditch @rschube04 @WPFFA791 @omfpoa911 @OFLSE

In the winter our Firefighters respond to more carbon monoxide (CO) calls. Make sure you have 1 near all sleeping areas & make sure to read the instructions on how they work #OntarioFireCode #BecauseWeCare @richardhepditch @rschube04 @adairm1 @OFLSE @omfpoa911

In January heating equipment is a leading cause of home fires. Make sure yours work properly. You need a working carbon monoxide (CO) alarm near your bedrooms #OntarioFireCode #BeSafe #BecauseWeCare @richardhepditch @rschube04 @adairm1 @OFLSE @omfpoa911
