Fire Prevention Week

"Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety" is this year's theme for Fire Prevention Week. Fire safety education isn't just for school children. Teenagers, adults and the elderly are also at risk in fires, making it essential for every member of the community to take some time to make sure they understand how to stay safe in case of a fire or emergency. Stay tuned for events happening during Fire Prevention Week from Oct. 3 to 9.

Stay fire safe while staying warm

With the cold weather on the way it is important we start to think about heating our houses again. Heating equipment – furnaces, woodstoves, fireplaces, chimneys and vents can all be causes for a home fire if they are not property maintained. Here are some steps to ensure the heating appliances in your house will not be the cause of a fire or a carbon monoxide (CO) leak.

• Ensure woodstoves, fireplaces and fireplace inserts are installed by a qualified technician according to manufacturer’s instructions.
• Have your heating system, vents and chimneys inspected and cleaned annually by a qualified service technician.
• Ensure all outside heating vents are not blocked. 
• Burn dry, well-seasoned wood in fireplaces and woodstoves to reduce the risk of excessive creosote build-up in chimneys.
• Allow ashes from your woodstove or fireplace to cool before emptying them into a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Keep the container outside.
• Always use a fire screen around the fireplace.
• Install and test CO alarms outside all sleeping areas.
• Install and test smoke alarms on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas.
