Prepare a Family Emergency Kit: Don’t forget your car
🚗 Emergencies can happen on the road, too. Keep a vehicle emergency kit with essentials like a flashlight, booster cables, a blanket, water, snacks, and a first aid kit. A small shovel and traction aid can also be lifesavers in winter.

We have seen an increase in smoke alarms from online sellers that are not approved for use in Canada. This means we are unsure if they will operate and notify you properly if there is a fire. #FireSafeSTC @St_Catharines @firefighters_st

[St. Catharines Fire Services @STCFireServices]

Buy your smoke and CO alarms from legitimate retailers. Look for the proper mark on the back of the alarm to ensure they will operate correctly in an emergency. #FireSafeSTC @St_Catharines @firefighters_st
