Older adults face higher risks in home fires.
Mobility, sensory impairments, or medical needs can make escape harder. Help reduce this risk by creating and practicing a fire escape plan with accessibility in mind.

Hearing a random chirp every 60 seconds in your home? That is your smoke or CO alarm telling you it has a low battery. Check all of your alarms and ensure they have fresh batteries in them. Be the hero in your home by protecting your family with working smoke and CO alarms.
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.

Smoke and fire spread fast—sometimes in under 60 seconds. Have a fire escape plan for EVs, RVs, boats & other vehicles. Maintain, charge safely & stay on top of recalls. Plan your escape—don’t wait for a fire to figure it out.

Adjala-Tosorontio is now under an EXTREME Fire Danger Rating. A full burn ban is in effect—no burning, no fireworks, and no permits will be issued until further notice. We appreciate your cooperation. Updates will be shared as conditions change.
That's right. The Office of the Fire Marshal does not recommend using fire blankets for kitchen fires but instead recommends keeping a fitted lid close by when cooking to slide over the pot, turning off the stove, and not moving the pot until it has cooled. #FireSafety
🔌 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.
