Be a #HydrantHero this winter and keep your local hydrant clear of snow.

Clearing 1.5 metres around a hydrant maintains access for firefighters and helps them keep you, your family and your community safe. #OttCity @OttFire

#Recall: Do you drive a 2022-2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB Class?

There could be a problem inside the high-voltage battery. As a result, the battery modules could overheat and short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire

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.

You asked, we have answers. 💬
Q: I’m a renter. Do the new 2026 carbon monoxide (CO) alarm rules apply to me?
A: Yes.
Landlords must install CO alarms that meet the new 2026 requirements, maintain and test them yearly, and give tenants the alarm’s maintenance instructions.

Tenants also have responsibilities:
• report any issues
• never disable or remove the alarm (it’s against the law)

CO alarms save lives—and in rentals, fire safety is a shared job.

New carbon monoxide (CO) alarm requirements apply to condos and apartments!

If CO can get into your unit, including from a garage, service room, fuel-burning appliance, or building ventilation system, you need a CO alarm.
New rules take effect January 1, 2026.
