No one wants to freeze this winter. Space heaters are a great way to stay warm but can also pose a fire safety risk if used incorrectly. Keep heaters at least 3 feet (1 metre) away from anything that can catch fire, and never overload your electrical outlets.

Smoke alarms need to be replaced every 10 years, so it’s time for homes built in 2015 to replace their smoke alarms! Since 2015, homes are required to have smoke alarms with visual signaling features like strobe lights.
🔔🚨 ➡️ Contact your local fire department to learn more.

Ontario saw 111 fire deaths in 2024. A reminder to install smoke alarms on every storey of your home, outside all sleeping areas, and test them every month. Together, let’s make 2025 a fire safe year!
