As of June, we have had 70 fire-related fatalities. That includes children and entire families. Far too often, fatal fires happen when no working smoke alarms exist. We're pleading with Ontarians – Take fire safety seriously. Working smoke alarms save lives. #FireSafety #ONfire

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

Fire victims in Ontario have been seriously injured or even killed by moving a burning pot or putting water on a grease fire. Don't do it. Put a lid on it and turn off the burner. #ONfire #firesafety

[Toronto Fire Services 🇨🇦 @Toronto_Fire]

Consider your abilities when planning your escape. Keep items near your bed, such as medications, glasses, charged phone, wheel chair, walker, or cane in case of an emergency. #SeniorsMonth @ChiefPeggTFS @TFSDeputyCocco

In the event of a fire you have no time to spare to get you and your family out safely. Fire and smoke can consume your home within minutes and every second counts. Don’t become one of our statistics and start taking fire safety seriously – your life depends on it! #Onfire

It may be March, but winter is still here and heating systems are running steady. When was the last time you tested or checked your CO alarm? #CO #COalarm #silentkiller #WINTER #educate @CitySSM

Last night a working smoke alarm saved a person’s life in @Carleton_Place. Please test your smoke alarm monthly to help keep you and your family safe. @CPFire_Dept

It’s officially Spring! Have your chimney inspected and properly cleaned when you’re done using it for the season.

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

Be smart about fire pits: use out in the open and never underneath any overhang. Use a screen and have water and sand nearby to put out when finished.

During a recent fire investigation we are very happy to report that the smoke alarm activated & woke up the homeowners who were sleeping at the time of the fire. Smoke alarm did it's job! Homeowners escaped safely #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives #FireSafetyEducation #OntarioFireCode

[Hamilton Fire Department @HamiltonFireDep]

DYK that if your smoke alarms are too close to the wall they may not work, even if they are on the ceiling? Check your manufacturer's recommendations for proper smoke alarm installation and test them monthly to ensure they are working! #TestItTuesday #HamOnt #StrongForYou

[Waterloo Fire Rescue @Waterloo_Fire]

My plea to Ontarians - you need to watch this important message! @ONFireMarshal

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

Unattended cooking is a leading cause of home fires, especially during the holidays. Stay in the kitchen when cooking and do not abandon the stove. #ONFire

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

There’s been seven residential fire fatalities over the last few days. @ONFireMarshal is reminding you to be fire safe. Remain vigilant, test your smoke/co alarms and make sure that your heating appliances are in good working order. #ONfires #holidayfiresafety

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

Protect yourself and your loved ones from fire. Be sure to:
✔️Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms tonight and every month
✔️Practice a home fire escape plan

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

Alcohol is a factor in many cooking and smoking-related fatal fires. Always drink and smoke responsibly and stay in the kitchen when cooking.

Having a bonfire this weekend? Before you start a fire outdoors, contact your local fire department to learn about the restrictions in your area on open air burning. #firesafety #onfire

[Mississauga Fire @MississaugaFES]

When purchasing smoke or CO alarms, ensure the device (not just the packaging) bears a recognized Canadian certification mark. Uncertified alarms may fail to operate properly. Only working alarms save lives!
