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

Honoured to throw the ceremonial first pitch for the @BlueJays today at @RogersCentre! #Baseball is all about practice and preparation—so is fire safety. Know your home fire escape plan and test your smoke alarms every month! ⚾🔥. #LetsGoBlueJays #TestYourSmokeAlarms #FireSafety

This is extremely important. Please don’t go another minute without knowing you have working smoke alarms and everyone in your home knows and practices your home escape plan. Fire can happen to any of us - please be prepared!.
6 weeks into 2025 and we’ve seen 12 fatal fires. Fire doesn’t stop, particularly in the winter months. Our thoughts are with the families, communities, investigators and first responders affected by these tragic events. @ONFireMarshal urges everyone to have a working smoke alarm.

Proud to work with amazing and talented women at @ONfiremarshal and the ON Fire Service. Being an ally to women extends beyond March 8th, so let's make the shift to be inclusive by recognizing their hard work and celebrating the strides women have made in fire safety! #IWD2024.

Join us @ONFireMarshal on May 22, 2024, for the Charged for LiFE symposium. Lithium-ion batteries pose a growing challenge to the fire service. It's crucial that we find ways to keep Ontario safe from these fires. Let's meet this challenge head-on together.
Join us on May 22, 2024, at Ascott Parc Event Centre in Vaughan for an educational event designed to provide a forum for discussing the growing issue of lithium-ion battery-related fires. 🔋 Stay tuned to this channel for registration information.

Fatal fires rose last year and though fatalities are down from 2022, the increase in fatal fires is extremely troubling. Each death is a loved one and together we can lower fatal fires in our communities! Test smoke alarms monthly and practice a home fire escape plan. #FireSafety

This is a good outcome to what could have been a terrible situation. A massive thanks for making this video in the hopes others can learn from this situation. Please believe us when we say smoke alarms save lives - it takes seconds to make sure yours are working.
A powerful testimonial from a Barrie resident on the importance of testing your #SmokeAlarm. When life gets in the way, distractions can easily occur. Take the 30 seconds today to potentially save your life and the lives of your loved ones. You can be #SavedByTheBeep @Barrie_Fire
