Campfire Safety Tips! The OAFC team wants to ensure everyone has a safe long weekend. Questions about fire safety? Reach out to your local department for more information.

The upcoming long weekend means many families are heading back to the cottage and opening for the season.

As you get things ready, don’t forget about safety.
As of January 1st, 2026, carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are required in all homes, outside sleeping areas and on all storeys that have fuel-burning appliances, fireplaces, or attached garages.

CO is a colourless, odourless gas that can be deadly, so a working CO alarm is an important layer of protection.

Before settling in for the season wherever you call home, make sure your CO alarms are installed, tested, and have fresh batteries.

A quick check now means you can relax, unwind, and enjoy all that cottage season has to offer.

If you’re packing for a trip, make sure these things are at the top of your list. A little preparation goes a long way in preventing wildfires.

The long weekend means one thing - grills are back in action!

Deputy Fire Marshal John McBeth would prefer the only investigation this weekend be whether your burgers are medium or well done… not what caused a barbecue fire.

Follow these grilling safety tips to help keep the long weekend safe and enjoyable.

Not everyone sees what it takes.

The early mornings.
The late nights.
The training, planning, prevention, and response that happens long before an emergency ever begins.

Today we recognize the people within the department - - the firefighters, fire prevention officers, inspectors, educators, dispatchers, and leaders who work every day to keep their communities safe.

Every role. Every shift. Every call.

Dangerous viral trends like the "Chrome Challenge" show why we need to move past traditional fire safety lectures. Modern fire safety is about tech fluency. 🔋📱

This March Break, we’re encouraging parents to spend 10 minutes on the #SpicyPillow audit to make sure batteries are not swollen. It’s a proactive hardware health check designed to teach teens about the safety of lithium-ion batteries

By teaching these checks now, you’re building essential life skills before they head to a dorm or their first apartment. Level up their "adulting" habits with our free resources: 🏠✨

Have you heard of Ontario’s Slow Down, Move Over Law? Here’s what you should know:

When approaching an emergency vehicle with flashing red or red and blue lights, or a tow truck with flashing amber lights stopped on the side of the road, drivers are required by law to:

• slow down and proceed with caution
• if the road has two or more lanes and it’s safe to do so, move into the other lane to provide space. These measures help protect emergency response personnel.

Let’s all do our part to keep our first responders safe on our roads and highways!

January is a great time to refresh your fire escape plan. Make fire safety part of your new routines: know two ways out, clear exits, check your meeting spot, and practice your plan. Fire doesn’t wait - planning ahead brings peace of mind when seconds count.

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

You asked, we have answers.
#CarbonMonoxide (CO) is invisible—you can’t see or smell it.
Starting January 1, Ontario requires CO alarms on every floor of homes at risk of CO exposure.
Ignoring the rule risks charges, fines, and lives.
No CO and smoke alarms = no protection.
If you’re unsure of what you need, we’ve made it simple. Everything’s at https://t.co/5RUBwRu7Kv.
