When you Sprung Forward this weekend, did you change the batteries and test your Smoke and CO alarms? Last year Ontario had 133 fire fatalities. Don’t be a statistic; working alarms save lives #DaylightSavingsTime #WorkingAlarmsSaveLives @OAFEOntario @ONFireMarshal @omfpoa

See two actual home fires from inside – without and with sprinklers. This new virtual reality video from @HFSCorg shows flashover in one room and fire sprinkler activation in another, both in real time. #HFSC #HomeFires #FireSprinklers https://t.co/0DeeBcsbv3

With two fire related deaths in Grey Bruce region over the last few days we want to remind you.
We need to be prepared and we need to take our safety serious! It is too late to prepare after a fire has started!
Talk to your local fire dept TODAY and make sure you are prepared!

We used "chalk up to fire safety" as part of Fire Prevention Week this year. A number of classes created some fire safety chalk art to show what they learned. The schools submitted some very creative artwork. #firesafety #teachthemyoung

Unattended cooking is the #1 cause of home fires. Always remember to "Look while you cook". Here are some more cooking fire safety tips to help stay safe.

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

Many house fires in Ontario are caused by faulty electrical equipment. Prevent fires by checking electrical cords for damage as exposed wires can cause injury or fire. #firesafety #onfire

[Barrie Fire @Barrie_Fire]

Practice safe smoking! Make sure you extinguish your smoking materials safely. For more information click here https://t.co/JEmCgn5qSv

[Mississauga Fire @MississaugaFES]

Frayed or damaged charging wires are both a hazard from electrical shock as well as a fire hazard! Discard and replace them, and never charge your phone on a flammable surface. https://t.co/mIEKcf5Rik

[Mississauga Fire @MississaugaFES]

A friendly reminder to keep your bathroom ceiling fans clean. The lint that builds up is extremely flammable and can ignite when a fan is running for long periods of time.

Don't forget, your pets don't like this extreme heat either. Here are a few tips to help them through this #heatwave.

[Sarnia Fire Rescue @SarniaFire]

It’s #TestItTuesday have you tested your smoke & CO alarms this month? Be sure to change the batteries at least once a year & replace any alarms that are more than 10 years old (including hardwired).
Disclaimer: the firefighters holding puppies was just to get your attention.

Always remember to turn off bathroom and other ventilation fans when not in use! Or use a timer with automatic shut-off. And always clean the dust from them. Dusty fans that run for hours may overheat and cause a fire.
