This is not a record we should be proud of! Right now is a perfect time to check your smoke and CO alarms to make sure they are functioning. Give yourself and your family a fighting chance against a house fire!

Our worst year in decades – 133 fire-related fatalities in 2022. Every one of these fatalities was someone’s loved one; you’re someone’s loved one. Don’t be a statistic; take #FireSafety seriously! Only working #SmokeAlarms save lives. Plan and practice a #HomeEscapePlan.

@PointEdwardFire OPEN HOUSE is back again for 2022. Please join us October 12th from 6-8 at the fire hall!

[Point Edward Fire & Rescue @PointEdwardFire]

Of the 86 lives lost to fires in Ontario in 2022, half of those were in homes without working smoke alarms.

This is truly a #CauseForAlarm

Make sure you have working smoke alarms in your home. Your life and the lives of your loved ones are counting on it!

@PointEdwardFire just provided assistance to two occupants on an inflatable raft being pulled out in the lake and unable to paddle to shore. Fortunately no one was injured. The couple was returned to shore and their waiting family.

#LambtonOPP is aware that commercial traffic is expected to be quite backed-up today on westbound 402. Take an alternate route if possible and truck drivers-please don't block on/off ramps. #LeaveRoom #PayAttention #ShareTheRoad @BlackburnSarnia ^jb

It has been brought to our attention that some stores in Ontario do not have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms available as part of in-person shopping options. These are essential and are permitted to be sold under “household safety supplies.” https://t.co/683RyYPaZg

#DYK: More than 60% of Ontario’s firefighters are volunteers. To mark #NationalVolunteerWeek, we thank all of the dedicated volunteers in the fire service throughout the province who keep us safe.

Lambton Public Health no longer require clients to bring a completed Ministry consent form to the clinics with them, nor fill the form out onsite. We hope this new process will ease the burden on clients or their caregivers.

Community Vaccination Hubs like the one in @PointEdward are proof of what we can do when we work together. Being able to vaccinate a high volume of people means there’s hope we will be back to normal soon. #LambtonStrong #GetTheVaccine https://t.co/cs6tH0DXO4
