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…
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
