It's #FirePreventionWeek! "Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety." When an alarm makes noises – a beeping sound or a chirping sound – make sure you know what to do. https://t.co/D8DwLbB4vF
This Fire Prevention Week I am challenging Ontarians to Get Loud! Learn the sounds of fire safety and test your smoke and CO alarms. You're up Mark Macdonald @ONFireChiefs , Carmen Santoro @csantoro91412, Kevin McNeilly @FFAO1 and Matt Pegg @ChiefPeggTFS Let's #GETLOUD Ontario!
ATT @EastZorraTav and Blandford-Blenheim residents: Residents may experience later than usual pick-up today as crews continue to battle the heat. All items should be cleared by 7 p.m. If your material isn’t collected, please call 1-800-755-0394 ext. 3159 by 9:30 a.m. Saturday.
County of Brant relies on volunteer firefighters, who give up their time away from family, or work, to respond to emergencies in their communities. Like @PEFD_WPFD we don't want them to be responding if it's avoidable. Please follow the bylaw at https://t.co/jXgmBuyvJ1.
This weekend as the clocks spring forward remember to check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
Check to ensure the batteries work but also ensure your units have not exceeded their 10 year life expectancy.

Valentine's day is Sunday, remember candles may be pretty and add ambiance, but they are a cause of home fires — and home fire deaths. Remember, a candle is an open flame, which means that it can easily ignite anything that can burn.

Last night, there were 3 people injured around a campfire near Perth, ON. Although it is too early to comment about this specific case, I would like to take this opportunity to send out a general reminder about open air burning.
The COVID-19 situation evolves by the hour, by the week and into the foreseeable future.
These are some of the people on the front lines working for you.
Together, we will flatten the curve.
