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!

The Office of the Fire Marshal cautions Ontarians about fire blankets as a fire protection device. Fire blankets lack Canadian standards and may give a false sense of security.OFM urges only trained professionals to use them.For home safety, stick to the proven practices below!

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

Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you!

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
