Have a Plan. Practice the Plan.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is known as the “silent killer” — it’s colourless, odourless, and invisible. The only way to detect it in your home is with a working CO alarm.

[Kingsville Fire 🍁 @KingsvilleFD]

🚨 Friendly Reminder 🚨
Your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are your first line of defense — but only if they’re working properly!
A working alarm gives you and your family the early warning you need to get out safely. Take a few minutes every month — it could save a life.

🚨 The Drowning Problem 🚨

Each year, over 400 Canadians lose their lives in preventable water-related incidents. Even one drowning is one too many.

Let’s work together to keep every Canadian safe around water.

👀Watch Your Kids — Not Your Phone. 📱

Drowning is silent. It can happen in seconds, and it often happens while adults are nearby.
Never take your eyes off children when they're in or around the water — not even for a moment.

🌊 Lakes Are Beautiful — But They Can Be Dangerous.

🚨Smoke and CO alarms don’t last forever ! 🚨

Take a moment today to check the date of manufacture on the back of your alarms.

If they’re more than 10 years old, it’s time to replace them — even if they still seem to work.

Old alarms may not detect smoke or CO as effectively

🚨 Only Working Smoke & CO Alarms Save Lives 🚨

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms are your first line of defense in a fire or gas emergency — but they only work if they’re properly installed and maintained.

Don’t wait for an emergency to find out your alarms aren’t working.
