Fire safety is everyone's responsibility. All households should have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.  You should also set a home escape plan. More details can be found on the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs (OAFC) website.

Smoke detectors

Most fatal fires occur at night when people are sleeping. A working smoke alarm will detect smoke and sound the alert to wake you. Effective March 1, 2006, it is the law for all Ontario homes to have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside of all sleeping areas.

Carbon monoxide detectors

In Ontario, an average of 11 people die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning. Effective October 15, 2015, carbon monoxide detectors are required near all sleeping areas and service rooms (utility room, furnace room) in residential homes.

Emergency escape plans

plan your escape

When a fire occurs, there is no time to waste. That is why it is so important to sit down with your family and make a step by step plan for escaping from a fire. Read the 'Family Action Plan' and download the home escape plan template. Be prepared!
