Winter Safety Tips
Have you had your heating equipment serviced?
During the winter months there is a higher risk of home fires caused by heating equipment. Have your equipment serviced by a certified technician and keep combustible items at least 3 feet from heating equipment.
Don't forget to water your tree!
Do you put up a real Christmas tree for the holidays? Please remember to keep it watered - dry trees catch fire fast! Trees can drink up to 4 litres of water in one day. Check out this video that shows how fast a Christmas tree fire can spread
Clear the snow away from the fire hydrant by your property!
Help us help you! In a fire every second counts if the hydrants are covered in snow it will take firefighters longer to get water to extinguish a fire.
Keep your vents clear!
It could save your life! Snow covered exhaust vents on your house can allow the appliance exhaust to fill your home putting you at a high risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. As protection, clear snow and ice away from your vents and install working CO alarms outside your bedrooms.
Open-Air/ Recreational Burning
With fall clean-up, make sure to have you have your Open Air Burn Permit! Whether you are having a recreational campfire or open-air burn on your property, make sure to read our Open Air Burning By-law.
Annual burn permits are available. For a list of locations, and general guidelines, have a look at our Quick Reference Guide.
