🔥❄️ Heating Safety Reminder! As temperatures drop, keep your home safe: keep flammables 3 ft from heat sources, never use your oven or stove to heat your home, and get furnaces & chimneys professionally

After a significant snowfall, we ask and remind residents to help clear a 1-metre space around #fire #hydrants. Every second counts and #firefighters need to be able to clearly see and access fire hydrants in an emergency!

[NOTL Fire & Emergency Services @NOTLfiredept]

After a big snowfall, don’t forget to check your furnace exhaust! ❄️
Blocked vents can cause your system to shut down — or even create dangerous carbon monoxide buildup.
A quick 1-minute check can keep your home warm and safe. Stay cozy out there!

[NOTL Fire & Emergency Services @NOTLfiredept]

❄️🚒 As we are in the winter months, please clear a 1‑metre space around fire hydrants.
Every second counts — firefighters need quick access during emergencies.

🔥 Huge applause for our Fire Prevention Staff—860 events in 2025! 👏 Your dedication is making a real impact on community safety.

Don't forget to do your part and test your smoke & CO alarms monthly—it’s a simple step that saves lives! ��

[NOTL Fire & Emergency Services @NOTLfiredept]

On Monday, our community faced a CO emergency with levels reaching 42 PPM in a local home.
Remember:
CO is an odorless, colourless and tasteless gas
Levels over 10 PPM pose potential serious health risks
Install CO alarms on every level of your home
Regularly test your alarms

🚫 Ice Can’t Be Trusted—Stay Off for Safety!
Stormwater ponds & frozen waterways may look solid, but conditions change fast.
For everyone’s safety, keep people, pets & snowmobiles off the ice.
