As of June, we have had 70 fire-related fatalities. That includes children and entire families. Far too often, fatal fires happen when no working smoke alarms exist. We're pleading with Ontarians – Take fire safety seriously. Working smoke alarms save lives. #FireSafety #ONfire

If you rent out your cottage, you have responsibilities under the Ontario Fire Code to ensure the fire safety of persons who rent your cottage. It's up to you to make sure working smoke & CO alarms are installed and maintained in your rental properties. #FireSafety #ONfire
