CAUSE FOR ALARM: Just one month into 2022, Ontario has already reported 21 fire fatalities. Be proactive and safeguard your home and loved ones. Let’s all do our part to stay fire safe.

My plea to Ontarians - you need to watch this important message! @ONFireMarshal

[North Perth @NorthPerth1]

A flashing green light on a car or truck means that a volunteer firefighter is responding to an emergency in their personal vehicle. Please pull over safely to allow them to pass. Remember, the emergency they are responding to may be yours.

Inspect decorative lights before using them and replace frayed or worn lights to prevent a fire this holiday season. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct use of decorative lights.

An important message from the Ontario Fire Marshal
Only Working Smoke Alarms and Practiced Home Escape Plans Save Lives

FPW is finally here! Do you know what to do if you hear the beep or the chirp? #firepreventionweek

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

#DYK: The top three causes of home fires in Ontario are:
1) Unattended cooking
2) Careless smoking
3) Electrical wiring
Prevent fires by staying in the kitchen while cooking, butting cigarettes in a deep ashtray and hiring a licensed electrician for electrical work.

It’s the start of a new month and now is a good time to test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, as well as change the batteries if needed. #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives #firesafety #onfire

[Huron County Fire Prevention @FireHuron]

When was the last time you checked your smoke & CO alarms? Remember, only working alarms save lives! Its also a great time to practice your home fire escape plan!

[Northern Bruce Peninsula Fire & Emergency Services @NorthernBruceFD]

#WorkingSmokeAlarms and a planned and practiced #HomeEscapePlan saved two lives in #Tobermory early this morning. When was the last time you checked your smoke alarms and practiced your escape plan? #FireSafety #NBPFD Check your smoke alarms today! @ONFireMarshal @OPP_WR

[Barrie Fire @Barrie_Fire]

Never re-enter a burning building. Once you have safely escaped, call the fire department from outside your home using a cell phone or a phone from a neighbour’s home.

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

Ontario has recorded 61 fire fatalities from January to May of this year. This is the highest number of fatalities in the same time period since 1998. Test your smoke alarms tonight and monthly. https://t.co/d0DjmPRVv3

This #Canada Road Safety Week keep a keen eye out for flashing green lights!

#Ontario's volunteer firefighters use flashing green lights when responding to emergencies in personal vehicles.

If you see flashing green lights, please yield or pull over when it is safe to do so.

[Huron County Fire Prevention @FireHuron]

Great work by our friends at SFRS! Ensure you have working smoke alarms on every level of your home, and outside all sleeping areas. With the nice weather its always a great time to practice your home escape plan as well. Protect what matters most!

[Sarnia Fire Rescue @SarniaFire]

Media release: @SarniaFire responded to a structure fire just after midnight. Luckily working smoke alarms alerted the residents of the fire. #WorkingSmokeAlarmsSaveLives

[Howick Fire @HowickFire]

Don't wait, check the date! Replace smoke and CO alarms every 10 years. Ensure you have working alarms on every floor and outside sleeping areas. Test your alarms monthly. #protectwhatmattersmost

[Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs (OAFC) @ONFireChiefs]

#Ontario's volunteer firefighters can use flashing green lights when responding to emergencies in their personal vehicles.

If you see flashing green lights, please yield the way or pull over to let them pass when it is safe to do so.
