#ElectricBikes are a fast, convenient way to get where you need to go — but they rely on powerful lithium-ion batteries that must be used safely ⚠️

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to help prevent fires:
• use only certified batteries and charging cords (CSA, cUL or cETL)
• never overcharge your battery
• avoid tampering or modifying your e-bike or battery system

A sincere thank you to @FMPFSC and @Kidde for their generous donation of smoke alarms. Their support helps enhance fire safety for some of Ottawa’s most vulnerable residents and contributes to a safer community for everyone. #KiddeCauseForAlarm

Smoke alarms save lives, but only if they’re working. Take a moment today to test yours and make sure it’s ready when you need it most.

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

Far too often our investigations uncover that no working smoke alarms were present in a fire.
Don't become a statistic—install and test your smoke alarms regularly by pressing the test button.

🔥 Love a good campfire glow? Same.

Just make sure it's fully out before you hit the sleeping pad so that the only thing burning is your marshmallow!

CO Alarms save lives on boats. You can’t see, hear, smell or feel it. Boats are built to keep water out, but this also makes them good containers for gases & fumes.
Fit CO alarms suitable for boats & meeting the EN50291-2 standard

Warmer weather means more time near Ottawa’s rivers, lakes, and waterways — but cold water, currents, and changing conditions can still be dangerous this time of year.

Please keep children within arm’s reach around water, wear properly fitted lifejackets, and stay alert near shorelines and fast-moving water.

Avec le retour du beau temps, plusieurs personnes profitent des rivières, lacs et cours d’eau de la région — mais l’eau froide, les courants et les conditions changeantes peuvent encore représenter un danger à cette période de l’année.

Gardez les enfants à portée de bras près de l’eau, portez un gilet de sauvetage bien ajusté et demeurez vigilants près des berges et des courants rapides.

The upcoming long weekend means many families are heading back to the cottage and opening for the season.

As you get things ready, don’t forget about safety.
As of January 1st, 2026, carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are required in all homes, outside sleeping areas and on all storeys that have fuel-burning appliances, fireplaces, or attached garages.

CO is a colourless, odourless gas that can be deadly, so a working CO alarm is an important layer of protection.

Before settling in for the season wherever you call home, make sure your CO alarms are installed, tested, and have fresh batteries.

A quick check now means you can relax, unwind, and enjoy all that cottage season has to offer.

Please use caution when near the water and keep an eye on your young ones. Remember life jackets like Smoke alarms really do save lives !

[Ottawa Police @OttawaPolice]

With the warmer weather, the Ottawa Police is urging residents to stay alert and use extreme caution around all bodies of water.

🚓The MDT Unit is sharing the following safety tips to help keep residents safe:

• Always supervise children playing outdoors, especially near rivers, ponds, creeks, or ditches.
• Falling into cold water can quickly lead to hypothermia and can be life-threatening.
• Even strong swimmers may be unable to escape due to the shock and effects of cold water.

If you suspect someone at risk by the water, call 9-1-1.

Avec le retour du temps plus chaud, la police d’Ottawa invite les résidents à demeurer vigilants et à faire preuve d’une grande prudence à proximité de tous les plans d’eau.

🚓 L’Unité MPS partage les conseils de sécurité suivants afin de contribuer à la sécurité de la population :

• Surveillez en tout temps les enfants qui jouent à l’extérieur, particulièrement près des rivières, étangs, ruisseaux ou fossés.
• Une chute dans une eau froide peut rapidement entraîner l’hypothermie et mettre la vie en danger.
• Même les bons nageurs peuvent être incapables de se sauver en raison du choc et des effets de l’eau froide.

Si vous croyez qu’une personne est à risque près de l'eau, composez le 9-1-1.
