Have working smoke alarms on each storey and adjacent to all sleeping areas in your RV, Trailer, mobile home or cottage. A well prepared and practised fire escape plan will also increase your chances of safely escaping during a fire emergency #FireSafetyFriday
Thanks to @TeamKerzner and @ONsafety for the Fire Protection Grant funding to help keep our @GPFFA467 FFs safe. New SCBA washers have been installed and will decontaminate the deadly carcinogens from our air packs, masks, and cylinders. @cityofguelph@ONFireChiefs@barnoldfire

@GuelphFire@GWParamedic Great job by all. Dedicated personnel who are well trained and properly equipped serve our city very well. I’m proud to be on this team! @cityofguelph@GPFFA467
Protect the one you love. Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and clear snow and ice from your natural gas meter and vents. Do it now! The City of Guelph
Please keep fire hydrants near your home clear of snow and ice. It helps firefighters locate and hook up our hose for water supply to save valuable time when every second counts! The City of Guelph
Help us help you. In a fire situation, every second counts. Please keep nearby hydrants free and clear of snow accumulation. @cityofguelph@barnoldfire@guelphpffaprez
Practice fire safety this Winter Solstice with space heaters, wood stoves and fireplaces. Keep at least one metre (3 feet) distance between your heat source and combustibles, like paper and fabrics. Make the holidays happy with working smoke and CO alarms!
Holidays are stressful. Go slow in the kitchen and avoid being a statistic. 17% of fires in Ontario are cooking-related, mostly caused when the stove is left unattended. Be mindful when cooking and never leave the kitchen while using a stove. Working smoke alarms save lives!
