A fire doesn’t wait. It doesn’t warn. It takes. Know without doubt your home has a working smoke alarm. Know for certain your family knows what to do when it beeps. A life lost. A family forever changed. Seconds decide everything. Test. Practice. Survive. #SavedByTheBeep

Support fire services by keeping fire hydrants clear of snow and ice. Every second counts in an emergency!
A split-image public safety message about keeping fire hydrants clear of snow. On the left, bold white text reads, "Support fire services: Keep fire hydrants clear of snow & ice!" A "Before" image shows a fire hydrant almost buried in snow. On the right, a firefighter in winter gear stands next to a fully cleared hydrant, holding a shovel. Arrows highlight a "1 meter clear away zone" around the hydrant. The Waterloo Fire Rescue logo appears in the top right, along with the slogan, "Shaping Our Fire Safe Community."

Take a minute today to make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are working properly. With the extra cooking, flammable trees and decorations this season, this precaution can go a long way to keep you and yours safe! #HolidaySafetyTip @Waterloo_Fire

Think twice before using (or gifting!) third-party chargers. It's always safest to use what came with the device. Overcharging or using damaged wires can also lead to a fire risk #HolidaySafetyTip @Waterloo_Fire

Have you checked to make sure your outdoor lights are actually made for outdoor use? If they aren't, the changing weather can cause electrical problems and increase the risk of fire. #HolidaySafetyTip @Waterloo_Fire

Consider making the swap to flameless candles this season - they provide the same cozy glow without any of the risks! This is especially important in homes with children or pets. #HolidaySafetyTip @Waterloo_Fire
