Approximately 12 people have been displaced following an early morning fire in Elora.

In an emergency - every second counts. Fire hydrants that are blocked, concealed, or difficult to access due to snow or ice impede emergency fire response. It is important to clear hydrants of snow/ice and clear a wide enough perimeter to walk around (3 feet).

When cooking, if your pot ever catches fire - put a lid on it, turn off the stove, and do not move the pot.
