This #NationalSeniorsDay, help keep a senior family member in your life fire safe. ❤️

Take a few minutes to test the smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in their home and make sure they’re working properly.

Smoke and CO alarms don’t last forever. Replace alarms every 10 years, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and make sure working alarms are installed on every floor and outside sleeping areas.

A few minutes spent checking their alarms can help make sure someone you love has the warning they need in an emergency. 🏠🔥

Kitchen fires can escalate in seconds. Knowing what to do makes all the difference.
If oil ignites:
✅ Cover with a lid
✅Turn off the stove
❌ Never use water
❌ Don’t move the pot

⚠️ Cold weather and lithium-ion batteries don’t mix! Charging below 0°C (32°F) can cause invisible damage → fires and explosions.

Keep them safe: warm up, store dry, inspect regularly. 🔋❄️

Do you know how to get out of your electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid if power fails?

Many EVs and some hybrids use electronic door releases. If the system fails—due to fire, a crash, or extreme heat/cold—those buttons may not work.

🔎 Find manual overrides
📘 Check your vehicle manual

When seconds matter, smoke alarms make the difference.

Fire moves fast, but early warning helps keep families safe.

Test your smoke alarms regularly. 🔥🚨

Holiday decorations often come with extra plugs – which can mean extra danger. Choose certified cords, don’t connect extension cords, keep them out from under rugs/doorways, and avoid overloading outlets.
Shine safely, Ontario.

🔌 Pull the plug on electrical fires. Avoid overloading the circuit with “octopus-outlet”. Use extension cords as a temporary connection only. Check electrical cords for damage such as fraying or nicks. Have a licensed electrician install additional outlets if needed.

A fire doesn’t wait. It doesn’t warn. It takes.

Know without doubt your home has a working smoke alarm.
Know for certain your family knows what to do when it beeps.

A life lost. A family forever changed. Seconds decide everything.

Test. Practice. Survive. #SavedByTheBeep

They’re hazardous waste and can cause fires. 🚫🔥 Keep them out of garbage, blue, or green bins! Tape the terminals, store them in a plastic bag and then drop them off at your local drop-off location. 🌍♻️
