Last year, Ontario had more fire fatalities than in the previous 20 yrs! Many of those fires happened in homes without working smoke alarms. Deputy Fire Marshal @nancydun1 wants your help reversing this tragic trend. Join Test Your Smoke Alarm Day on Sept. 28.

Great insight from Rob Grimwood as he spoke about fire fatalities and provided an overall update from @ONFireChiefs. With 133 fire fatalities in 2022, @ONFireMarshal and its committed partners will bring you Operation SAFER to rethink our approach to smoke alarms and save lives.
Always a pleasure to discuss fire and life safety issues with #Ontario's Solicitor General @MPPKerzner
We're honoured to have you take the time to join us today. Thank you.
As of July, there have been 76 fire-related fatalities in #Ontario. Fatal fires are far too common and can be prevented. Don't become a statistic - Develop a home fire escape plan and maintain your smoke alarms. #FireSafety#NoMoreFireDeaths
Chilly nights call for a fireplace. Please make sure your appliances are inspected and cleaned every year. Bird watching is awesome, but birds making a home in your chimney - not such a great mix.
Extension cords should only be used as a temporary connection. If permanent wiring is required, have additional outlets installed by a licensed electrician. #ONfire#firesafety
